Title: Carbon Skin Undecided!!!
Post by: GTI:Gibbo on 16 June 2011, 19:20
I'm thinking about having my mirrors and roof protected by Carbon skin. It does not only look good but it protects your paintwork from stone chips. I'v had a quote of £185 for my roof and £35 for mirrors but i'm still undecided whether to have it done or not?? What does everyone else think on this matter??

hi mate, you said 'It does not only look good but it protects your paintwork from stone chips' then why not go for the clear film?

someone on this forum does roofs for £40. Sure you could buy the 3m carbon and get him to do roof and mirrors for ALOT less than the prices you quoted.
