[owen lcr]

Looks really good mate like that alot.

 

[owen lcr]

i had a look at the roof but still undecided. i might give it a go and if i dont like it i can take it off.

looks like i am going to go and order some more now...

i will put some photos up at the weekend when i have done it. may need an extra pair of hand for that size of vinyl

i am going to go all the way back to the spoiler with mine rather than just the roof

looks sweeet to be honest - nice one

 

[Donnyboy]

looks good. How much is your car lowered? Is it the 30mm H&R springs? http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/hr-...ringsbr-leon-1p-cupra-20t-fsi-0106-p-660.html

If you do the roof take it to the back edge of the spoiler. There was a white one posted on here ages ago with that and it looked best.

 

[owen lcr]

yeah H&R springs mate, they are good but i am thinking of upgrading to coilovers now...

yeah i know what you mean about the spoiler, just do the top surface.

 

[Donnyboy]

yeah i know what you mean about the spoiler, just do the top surface.

Yeah exactly. The thick edge from the back is still white but the tops black.

 

[owen lcr]

cool, just getting a price from the guy now, hopefully it isn't to expensive.

 

[RickyD1975]

Looks mint Owen, did you do it all yourself?

 

[owen lcr]

yeah i did it on monday night. the first wing mirror i did i tried it with laquer on but i didnt like it as much, so i removed it and done it again with no laquer and it looks so much better.

 

[White_Lady_170]

can i ask where you got the vinyl from mate? ive been toying with the idea of wrapping a few different things both exterior and interior but i dont know how to go about finding a supplier of good quality carbonfibre look vinyl at a good price.

 

[owen lcr]

no probs mate, i have spoken to the guy i get it from and he said i can post the info on here with a 5% discount off of his already lowest price i have found in the UK...

keep in mind that this is the best quality carbon wrap availible thus the slightly higher price than you will find on the likes of ebay.

P.S always get more than you think you will want because you end up doing everything in it lol, i mean i have even done my iphone and laptop in it...

 

[owen lcr]

That looks ubercool

Now im tempted to wrap my diffuser with fins in that . . .

 

[FR_Flavoured]

I saw a Range Rover recently in what looked like graphite Grey (dark, but not black).
Then as it came past, the entire car was covered in a carbon fibre weave!! Had to be a vinyl wrap!

Very cool !

 

[hubbly_bubbly]

Should look something like this:

 

[owen lcr]

to be honest i think you will really struggle to get the wrap around the fins in 1 go, you could cut it into shapes but might sacrifice quality..

if you do manage i think that will look neat. where did you get the fins from
