I don't get it.  The whole point of carbon fibre is to reduce weight...yet it's just being wrapped/stuck on top of an existing product.

Real carbon fibre costs a small fortune. If you want the look of carbon fibre then why not have it wrapped? Each to their own, I guess.

The point is that it looks cool.

Some people think it's a bit rice, but it's a cheap way to get your car looking sporty!

hi mate, PM'd you about a price for wrapping a few bits.

Seats do look real good, not sure on the spoiler as would it have a line somewhere where the vinyl would have to have been cut?

Ok the seats looked the shizzle in the earlier pics but purple upholstery... :sick:

Perhaps red, or black with coloured stiching for me but not purple.

But on your work... you got a good result

nice work bud. been looking at that stuff at work and a few of us want to get wrapping stuff in that. Would get it from APA i think, but 3M stuff is the shiz.

oh and real carbon wrapping and resin, etc wont look as good as that, its very very hard to do!

I might get some and have a go now tbh!
