Im Interested in getting this done over here in N Ireland too matey and would be keen to know who can do this over here as i asked a few vinyl companies and they were reluctant to try it out at all....in face they were even cagey about doing the roof in gloss black vinyl as they said its an awful hard job to do

Hey Jamie, I'm liking your wing. Which one did you buy? I know the 3M is more matte so is that the Neffy Wrap or is it something else?



--To the rest of you guys...
I'm not sure if this is the same as neffy wrap but bounced up on it on another forum and it looks a little glossy:

Good work there Stu. I've started mine the other night, started with the rear interior window switch/handle, getting the feel for the stuff.

Heat from the hair dryer is a massive help, really easy to mould rounf the corners then.
I see your finding plenty to cover lol, but you had no joy yet in finding out about the front round air vents?
Maybe poss to cover them whilst still attached?

WOW STU!!! I'm really loving this... I think I'm gonna copy as much of this as I can (in terms of parts to wrap) on my 98 classic, along with the center console trim and vent surrounds and so on. Just plain amazing!

I was really thinking of doing those parts like what you covered on mine too but didn't see any pics as reference as to how they would turn out. But after seeing yours I'm sold!

Quick question though... Which material did you use? Di-Noc? And how much did you need to do all those parts. I wanna do those parts and the few i mentioned along with the top blade of my wing and the lower section of my bumper in that sits below the radiator grill between the fog lamp areas.

Any idea on how much I would need?

Glad you like it. Yeah it's 3M Di-noc, got it off ebay £25 inc p&p for 300mm x 1200mm. I've used 2 sheets so would be better buying a 600mm x 1200mm.

Not sure how much you would need for spoiler and bumper, just measure them up and add some extra, never cut them to exact size trim when it's been appied. If you email the seller he would prob sell bigger sizes.

Good work Scooby Stu.

I've never been a big fan of the carbon look on interior bits but this stuff gives more of a matt finish and looks superb!

Stu.... that looks fantastic. My alternative 'Neffy Wrap' arrived on Saturday as well as a sample piece of the 3M Di-Noc stuff. From a distance there's very little in it.

The 3M stuff is vinyl so seems to be a lot easier to work with whereas the Neffy is a fabric-like substance requiring spray-on glue. Gonna give both a go next week and will pop up pics soon enough.

Incidentally.... if you pop over to the 3M website, you can 'request' a sample piece of the Di-Noc (in any of the 8 colours) to have a play with

Ive just ordered some of the 3M stuff.

just a quick question. What do you use the hairdryer for?? (this is my first attempt at applying vinal)

Also if i had a full matt black wrap would there be any place on the car you would see the orginal colour? (my car is crystal grey)

Thanks
