This stuff is the dogs! Vast improvement from the original Subaru silver plastic. I would say it's better than real Carbon Fibre and a fraction of the price.

Now, how do the circular side air vent trims come off as they're getting it next?

 

Do you think this stuff would take the heat wraped round intercooler pipes? Would it take the bend?

 

IMO i dont think it would mate

but im no Expert just going by when i watched them fit mine

darc

 

That's exactly what I want for mine

Looks the dogs

 

Finishing mine off tonight Jon

Mit i'd say no way mate. As soon as the hairdryer touched it it went soft and glue went sticky etc

 

So does this 3M vinyl stick on with glue or does it have a peel off adhesive back?

And the vinyl i've seen on the interior parts on this thread, is it the same stuff you use on the exterior?

I would have thought it was more difficult to do something like a fiddley interior part than the likes of a flat roof, or am I wrong? It just seems not many have attempted and bonnet or roof... as thats what i'm thinking about

 

Ive got the roof done mate with the same stuff. its peel off.

its very easy to manipulate with a bit of heat

the stuff on my roof is the same as what im using to do the inside

I wouldnt try the roof by myself as its alot of material to lose if you **** up

 

Heres a video on carbon-vinyl.com that gives you a rough idea how easy it is to work with: Carbon Advice www.carbon-vinyl.com

 

Do you mean dont try it by myself as its a big surface or get a professional to do it?

 

you will need a minimum of 2 to do a roof. I got a professional to do my roof as i have no experience of using it.

If your competent at using vinyl give it a go mate

it is easy to use. im going to try and do my boot i think lol

 

this is the 3M stuff its used for inside and out, its great stuff but need to be skilled and experienced in doing fiddly surfaces,

i watched the boys do my p1 splitter

i wouldnt want to try and do it lol

Hmmm, well i've never even seen a sheet of vinyl let alone manipulate it around corners!

... reckon i'll buy a couple of feet and do some vents as you lot have and see how I get on before even thinking about my roof!

Only reason i'm not considering a professional is that simply there doesnt seem to be anyone near Newcastle upon Tyne do help me out... would cost double inc. petrol to get down south!

Cheers

 

After reading this, I decided to ship in some Neffy Wrap to have a go on my carbon classic.

For a testing area I used the rear seatbelt guide (because I snapped it whilst puling the seatbelt through it ), not a bad result...once I gain some patience i'll try a few other bits...

 

Ive recently just done my own roof, it was such a pain in the ***.

If you have lots of spare time, and epic hair dryer and a good mate then get torn in, otherwise pay someone to do it

Heres how mine sits so far

 

I'm enjoying that like Rossco, did you use 3M or Neffy??

How long did ti take you to do? (the roof i'm talking about)

I'm planning a similar thing in the next couple of weeks

 

It was 3M mate, all the way.

Roof took us about 4 hours and its not perfect, but im chuffed enough with it

 

4 HOURS?! Hmmm, I think i'm being extremely naive about the wrapping of my roof then, think i'll problies leave it to the professionals incase I **** up a perfectly good sheet of £50 vinyl... will just stick to the interior I guess.

Cheers mate, looks the nuts

 

loving that Rossco.

i paid someone to take the risks. i love the look.

 

Cheers guys

Mark - More like a 100 pound bit of vinyl, scary thought now

 

was thinking of getting my roof done, but would it look right with an ra flap?!?!? also then have the complication of trimming excess around the vent.....

 

Spoke to a carbon wrapper to do Spec c he said no problem

 

sweeeet!!

 

Me & my mate did mine last week, took about 3 hours.

 

Been done already i know

just waiting on more stuff to do the rest

 

Has anyone tried to do the door switches with the 3M? I'm trying to work out whether or not it will flex enough to reach down into the handle part of the console

 

Yeah I have done mine, was ok really, and it wrapped fine too. Done right down in the handle part

 

Excellent, I have a bug so it is slightly different, but it still is quite deep so I'll give that a go next

 

Did you use 2 pieces to do inside the handle. I couldn't get a single piece to stretch all the way in

 

can I ask where you get the material from please? id like to do my bonnet and roof.

 

I got mine from Ebay
