Dude! that looks sweet!

How did you do the vinyl? did you take all the bits out - or did you do the wrapping with everything in-situ?

Would love to do it to mine to freshen up the interior a bit! Shame you're so far up north otherwise I'd have to be asking you to do mine aswell :lol:

was the vinyl cheap enough? may have a go on my week off :)

Car looks awesome too :)

how much per metre then? I am spending about £145 on black plastics

Not sure think doing all those bits cost me about 50 quid!

I may just hold you to that!

If I do hold you to it, completely on your terms matey, whenever you're free...

Yeah no problem mate just need to sort stuff out and then see where im at with another sheet of carbon

As if you took the proper carbon off the front badge :0 all it needed was a light sand and laquer!
Its not off ive just sanded it and put the vinyl over the top mate

Hi, looking sweet!

did you get the 3M Di-NOC Carbon Fiber Vinyl?

and have u got carbon on the front middle grille edge? (the bit that's usually chrome)

Thanks

Hey mate , Yeah thats the stuff .. And yep i do that carbon aswell :)

How? well first involves removeing the item wanting to be wrapped then mesuring the carbon to size cutting out etc, Sticking the middle on the working out to push ALL and i mean ALL bubles out and creases ( Hard work ) Then pull a hairdryer out and stretch the edges around without getting a crease .. Not easy again!

Im not gona lie its not that easy lmao.. Thats what postage is for theys days mate .. I dont mind doing bits and bobs aslong as im makeing a bit of beer money here and there :)

Chears fella. Yeah mine are already tinted yellow but never really have them on!

Soo basically turning them into driveing lights? Not a bad idea but not an easy task!

Getting quite good with the vinyl, Wrapped a boot for someone last week !

As for the car no update yet its my 19th today so just bunking of and thinking of parts too buy :p

Would i not just be easier to have it into the fogs? Im really too lazy for that kind of stuff myself haha , Looks good though
Urm not sure yet im working on bigger bits everyday so see how things go.. It would work out about 500 quid for me too do all the work myself. Carbon ibiza ;)
gonna try get hold of some carbon now, looks soo much better than painting interior trims
Yeah its good stuff mate really just need to know what your doing! Ill probs end up doing some work for people on here for some coin so if it all goes tits up gimme a shout!

absolutely loving the carbon wrap, very nice :)
Chears mate.. More on its way :) .. Engine bay next!
