That engine cover is awesome  :laugh: how much did the dipping set you back?
Thank you and the cost was £80 including postage and packaging.

Not a fan of the roof wrap at all. The engine cover etc however look sweet as!

Looking very smart outside and in, particularly like the engine cover, carbon fibre dip looks ace.  :cool:

I'm now really considering buying a spare engine cover to play around with  :smiley: Not too familiar with dipping, I assume it's up to the job with the heat in there?

It's amazing, makes the turbo dump valve sound a lot louder and looks so much nicer than standard in my opinion.

I've had mine on for a couple of months now and not had any problems with it. Even had a couple of people question if it's real carbon as well lol. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Was recently at a car show and saw stone carbon fibre wrap for sale (2x1metre) for £20 so thought I'd buy some and have a go at wrapping the front splitter. First time ever doing anything like this and I thought it turned out okay, for a beginner.





I've got lots left and after looking around on the internet and trying to decide what to wrap next I chose the ashtray and gear stick around. To wrap this I removed the parts completely from the car and done it properly. What do you think?

Looks like a great job, nice one dude. More of a fan of gloss carbon myself tbh though  :smiley:

Looks good  :cool:  ...at the moment.  That's the trouble with carbon fibre wrap, before you know it you've got carried away and crossed the line from looking good to looking  :sick:

Less is more, lol
