Default Carbon Fibre Vinyl

Got some carbon vinyl wrap done before xmas by company called Vinyl Matter

Was very happy with the results. So i highly recommend them.

Him and his partner are just starting this new company but they have alot of experience in vinyl work

A few rubbish shots but sure you get the idea.









This is done by Vinyl Matters in Twickenam. Very good lads at good prices.

If interested i can point you in their direction

Im going back again to get the top of spoiler done to give the over the top look. Also im aiming at getting it laquered also

Looking good Mr Beck

A lot of the guys on the Lancer Register are using this on their cars, it is VERY good stuff.

They have a group buy on there for smaller sheets that people are using to do interior parts, aswell as spoiler blades and wing mirrors.

£190 was not for bonnet, thats real.

190 was for roof and fuel flap.

i was getting quotes of £250 for just roof.

I think it costs about £100-£120 just for the material for roof so paying the rest for their skills and safe in knowledge they dont get bubbles and will redo if it messes up lol.

I can ask if interested in group buys lads? obviously need to travel to London way.

Mr Fud im glad your keeping it mate. ive seen a car fully wrapped and it looked good

Thats the stuff I did my 09 hatches door card inserts and radio surround in, and to hide the chrome on the boot with. Its very good stuff. Theres a guy on detailing world who's done his S2000's centre console in it.

Done properly it does look very good.

Looks good but i prefer the glossier real carbon If they did a lacquered carbon finish i'd be interested as its cheaper than importing a genuine CF roof which i have been looking at doing

I'm pretty sure you can spray with lacquer for a shiny finish

Agree Daz, if my bonnet wasnt real i wouldnt be bothered.

like the mat look. but as my bonnet is real im going to get the roof laquered so its similar looking

The real carbon roofs arent badly priced but the price to ship is about £450 isnt it

I dont think its simple Kenny, with practice maybe, but this stuff isnt cheapest if you mess up

pm inbound malcs

Would be very interested in the laquered finish for sure if it could match my rear wing and roof spoiler
The carbon Roof shell I priced up came to £1k delivered inc taxes (was the one with the roof vent hole obviously) which is a tad over budget for a car I am considering getting rid of

I was tempted a few months back.... Finally took the plunge and ordered some Neffy Wrap....

Gets good reviews and seems a little cheaper to purchase.... Will post some pics up as soon as I get it done...
