Just a quick one. Carbon fibre wrap does look good in certain places but it does look fake and can be noticed. If you only doing it for looks, itl look good but it's a matt finish(may get the shinny wrap, iv looked all over) where as real carbon fibre is glossy. My mates skyline has real carbon fibre bonnet and carbon wrap fog light surrounds. Looks the business from a distences but looks completly different textures up close

Hi Mick,

 

Did my slidding pillocks in the carbon fibre wrap. Looked pretty damn good when done. Dead easy to fit on.

Also just got some more as there is a few bits on the new build I'll be covering.As Kennedy says above, you can get many types of wrap and it will look different to the real thing, however I think it looks good. :rolleyes:

Ive had a few types of carbon wrap for bits and bobs. 3m is the best to work with.

Had some cheap stuff from ebay of late. max autos seems better stuff than others.

why not find out how much it would be to spray the wings? if its to much and you dont mind a less than perfect finish send them to me along with half litre of paint and I'll spray them in my garage i have lots of thinners, lacquer and what not left over and it should only take me a day or so (less if you key them up before hand)

I covered my front and rear arches in CF wrap and was well pleased with the result!

 

Also, i couldnt help but notice that the same 3M wrap has been used on one of the limited edition Lamborgini Gallardo's! Well if its good enough for Lambo..........
