Carbon fiber Wrap door grab handles **UPDATES**
« on: 09 October 2009, 21:48 »
I had some carbon fiber vinyl offcuts spare so i thought I'd have a go at the drivers side door handle. I didn't have enough to do the whole lot and I didn't want to break into a fresh roll so I covered what I thought was the most complex area.

I have some vinyl here: http://shop.ebay.co.uk/jimbooboo1/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=










I did this only as an experiment and it turned out pretty good. Hopefully you should see some pop up for sale on ebay aswell as other parts too... :D


Lemme know what you think, James

Cool.

How hard is it to wrap things? I keep thinking it's really difficult to bend?

It can be hard but once you get going it gets a bit easier. It just depends where you start your foil etc.

I have some of the vinyl for sale on ebay.

I can also do larger sheet if needed.

By center console trim do you mean around the gear stick or the bits around the stereo; cupholder aircon etc?
