Vinyl Wrap
« on: 18 October 2014, 06:20 »
Hi guys,

Looking into wrapping my wing mirrors either gloss black or Carbon black
Any thoughts? Am swinging towards gloss black since the centre door pillar posts are gloss black also the rear roof spoiler.
Then the carbon is different but is a satin finish.
Been quoted £50 for Carbon, £40 for gloss black

I personally prefer gloss black. Is different enough but doesn't look too aftermarket like carbon will.

Hi Guys,

Looks like I will be going with the Black Gloss, been quoted £40 for the 2 mirrors, and £140 for the roof  :whistle:
Am holding back on the roof just now, till am 100% sure I want to go that way, will see how the mirrors turn out.

Pictures to follow soon....

Maybe the roof but not the wingmirrors but it does look so right it could've come from the factory imo
