Thought I would share a few pics. I took the plunge & had a full carbon wrap done, I know it's not gonna be to everyone's taste but I think it's awesome....
Nice work, like someone says above it has a stealth look, wigth it being stealth like i wonder if its invisible to radar ? Test it out on a speed camera and report back
One thing ive always wonder about that carbon wrap, what happens if you accidentally get a nick in the carbon or a fair size scratch, it could get costly to keep it looking that way if sections have to be replaced to to scratches and nicks etc. I guess time would be the overall test of how it handles normal day conditions.
A picture freezes it at that exact moment but seeing it in the flesh & different light conditions it seems to be ever changing. What you might see when it's parked somewhere, you won't see when it's parked somewhere else, it's weird but in a good way.
In the 3rd pic down for instance, it looks like there is a large crease just above the wheel but I didn't see it when I took the pic & I can't see it now, there is no crease, only in that pic.
The only thing so far that I have a gripe about is that it's a magnet for dust & fingerprints. It definitely looks best in sunlight I think, unless you prefer the matte look. Time will tell how long it lasts. If I damage it then I could just get that section replaced, but I don't know how much that would cost. Probably not cheap.
I paid £1750 to get it done professionally, using Hexis wrap.

I have a few bit done on my car , and got a bit of polish on it . . . . nightmare ! When washing it it disappeared , but everytime it dried it appeared again. Ended up having to use a toothbrush to get it out off all the wee groves.
It looks good bud one question though do u need to change the car colour with the dvla as u may keep getting pulled as you've technically change the whole car colour they might think its on false plates??????
Hmmm aslong as you like it mate thats what counts, different from the other evos that all seem to be grey lol.
What colour was it before?

My polishing days were over long ago. All three of my scoobys were black & a right bitch to keep clean & shiny.
