A method of press moulding a moulding material to form a vehicle body panel of fibre-reinforced resin matrix composite material, the vehicle body panel having a front A-surface and a rear B-surface, the method comprising the steps of: i. providing a heated mould tool having a lower mould part and an upper mould part, the upper mould part having a first moulding surface for moulding a front A-surface of the vehicle body panel and the lower mould part having a second moulding surface for moulding a rear B-surface of the vehicle body panel; ii. providing a multilaminar panel of moulding material comprising at least one layer of fibres and at least one layer of resin, the multilaminar panel having first and second opposite major surfaces (68,70), a surface resin layer of the multilaminar panel being at or adjacent to the first major surface and a dry fibre layer of the multilaminar panel forming the second major surface; iii. locating the moulding material in the mould tool, wherein in the locating step iii the second major surface is draped onto the second moulding surface of the lower mould part, and the lower mould part is at an elevated temperature as compared to the temperature of the moulding material; iv. closing the mould tool to define a substantially closed mould cavity containing the moulding material; v. applying pressure to the moulding material in the mould cavity to configure the moulding material in a fully moulded shape, wherein after the applying pressure step v resin in the multilaminar panel fully impregnates the dry fibres; and vi. substantially fully curing the resin to form a vehicle body panel from the moulding material, the vehicle body panel having a front A-surface formed from the first major surface and a rear B-surface formed from the second major surface. i. providing a heated mould tool having a lower mould part and an upper mould part, the upper mould part having a first moulding surface for moulding a front A-surface of the vehicle body panel and the lower mould part having a second moulding surface for moulding a rear B-surface of the vehicle body panel; ii. providing a multilaminar panel of moulding material comprising at least one layer of fibres and at least one layer of resin, the multilaminar panel having first and second opposite major surfaces (68,70), a surface resin layer of the multilaminar panel being at or adjacent to the first major surface and a dry fibre layer of the multilaminar panel forming the second major surface; iii. locating the moulding material in the mould tool, wherein in the locating step iii the second major surface is draped onto the second moulding surface of the lower mould part, and the lower mould part is at an elevated temperature as compared to the temperature of the moulding material; iv. closing the mould tool to define a substantially closed mould cavity containing the moulding material; v. applying pressure to the moulding material in the mould cavity to configure the moulding material in a fully moulded shape, wherein after the applying pressure step v resin in the multilaminar panel fully impregnates the dry fibres; and vi. substantially fully curing the resin to form a vehicle body panel from the moulding material, the vehicle body panel having a front A-surface formed from the first major surface and a rear B-surface formed from the second major surface.
