Title: Carbon Wrapped - Chin Lip Pics
Post by: CHB100 on 08 April 2011, 18:26
Blimey, took me an age to download these. My old crap PC or just me? Lucky I'm retired although most you guys are getting paid and posting on here! :laugh:

Rear diffuser etc to follow someday?!

You can buy it on eBay / the Internet look for 3M Di-noc

I did Mrs Doc's 1 series dash trims in it - no moaning about my sandals lol

Took around 3 hours - removing the center console was the worst part!

Film looks BLACK and feels like real CF - it comes across as blue in some photos but is BLACK.

It looked great and gave the car an unexpected "lift" - I was impressed.

Actually it's HEXIS CF Wrap, stunning stuff if you want a gloss finish. I haven't tried 3M but have others, this is my choice. Here's an ebay link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HEXIS-HEXPress-Carbon-Fibre-Wrap-Vinyl-100mm-x-100mm-/130505144381?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1e62b6783d

As one whose recently tried can honestly say you did a great job there Doc, attention to detail and PATIENCE!! I challenge you to a GTI rear diffuser. I hoped to do it in ONE wrap then THREE, ended in 5!!! pieces. The pics make it look better than it is IMO. My wife & I give it 7 out of 10. But does the job, may 2K clear coat in near future?

PS how did you join behind the door handles :wink:

I took the door handles off  :wink:

Attention to detail and PATIENCE  :cool:

Having sid that pretty much EVERTHING in work including the brush ended up being coverd in CF that week  :grin:

I'd be able to do that chin in one I think  :wink:

I could do a GTD rear diffuser in one but the GTI looks like a pain in the ass  :rolleyes:

Never having used carbon fibre before, is that stuff easy to work with?
How do you avoid bubbles / excess if it has to go round curved surfaces? Is it heated on?
Sorry for the questions but you both have done a cracking job and its very impressive.

That lip looks quite good, I will probably do mine next year as im bound to scrape the crap out of the paint on it this winter, so just rap it next year.

I bought her that then 6 months later I knocked her up so got shut and bought her a really nice freelander 2 that we kept for a year and made a 2k profit on  :wink:

Bought the GTD when we sold the freelander 2 and she now uses my Disco 3 as her daily driver and I use the GTD, of a weekend the GTD doesn't get used at all really as the Disco is very practical and safe  for us when shopping with pram and baby stuff etc
