Nor will it look good imo.
Small bits of carbon wrap look fine. big things look gash. especially as when youve seen proper carbon you will notice the difference between wrap and proper carbon.
imo either pay to have it made properly (will be expensive) or do a small amount.
even with it all done in proper carbon i dont think it will look too good. Be too much.
as for prices. youde proberbly be looking at 75 quid + for materials. then the labour of them taking car apart and wrapping each thing individually.
Give it a go yourself. its not that hard. just heat up and stick on. remember when using carbon though a littlee strech is fine. but too much and you distort the pattern so can need cutting for tight parts.

Do it yourself considering 1.5x1.5m of wrap is £35. All you need is a squigee and heat gun. I did two bonnets already as I was quoted the £200 on the lowest end. Not paying that IMO, but its not as hard as it looks, for big things a set of extra hands is required.

This is quite neat. I think you can buy kits to do it yourself too.

When buying the vinyl wrap though mate, buy the 3M Airflow stuff, by far the most realistic stuff and best sticking stuff.. I can do them for you mate but I live a fair few miles away from you... the door cards are incredibly hard to wrap, especially for the first time!
Good luck though mate!
