Be careful who does the wrapping - I had my adjustable spoiler blade wrapped by a company in Norwich and it has more bubbles in it than an aero bar! I will be ripping it off and painting the blade myself

what do you mean

and about the bubbles in the wrap mate
thats why i would prefer skinning over the wrap

its mainly for looks, someone painted it matt black and the paint has cracked and looks really rough and a real skin would look good on my silver subaru

i would say just get the carbon skin to wrap it up would be easier, as i mean the stickers, not the real carbon stuffs. I am having some on the way, do you want to share some carbon stickers with me?

I mean changing the whole roof panel from steel to carbon.

We recently wrapped my brothers roof with the 3M Carbon Vinyl from - looks great and its a DIY fit. Done us a deal if you email them. This stuff had tiny air channels so you dont get bubbles

wrap has got to be the winner..........

skin the existing roof or do you mean a replacement panel?? minimal gains and a lot of work

ashbuster

i was talking about skinning over the top like in that video i posted mate,
any ideas where i cab get a decent job done
maybe a place that garantees there work to have no bubbles and not overstretched

I just have 50 meter in now! They are like the M3 carbon vinyl, 3D one, you can touch and feel it! i think that's what you want.

lol, yes, but this foil will save you a lot of money. The real carbon will cost you a arm and a leg.

Not really if you know where to buy and sometimes just need look for some forums.

No long time ago,Simon@JGM sold Carbon roof for around £800 which is good price for carbon roof,shame has been for classic.

yes, that was long time ago, i dont think we still can get the same price anymore now. I guess it is going to be hard to find one with £800, better to making one by yourself.

ashbuster

i know it would never be real but my roof is a mess lol
its been painted black and has had a roof scoop on thats been pulled off by someone when the previous owner had it,
also the paintjob on the roof is total ****e
thats the reason for this
