i have a silver blob wrx with sti kit on it and im thinking of having the bonnet/spoiler blade and rear window spoiler wrapped in carbon,has anybody had carbon wrap done? i really dont want to spoil the look of my car and make it look tacky.reason for this is the spoiler has paint issues along with the bonnet and rear window spoiler.can you put pics up please of your carbon wrap if you have had some done

Slightly off topic, how much is each part costing you?

I think it would be very expensive to have the bonnet wrapped as it would be a massive sheet of carbon.

I have my stiffis away getting wrapped at the minute and that's going to be well over £100 for the 2 so it's not cheap. I would guess the spoiler blade would be £200 and the window spoiler £125-£150 for a good job

This is all presuming you mean actual carbon, not the 3m rubbish?

Hi m8 have a look at carbon mods online you can get kits from the at a good price and do it at home and I have had lots from them and it is a pece of **** m8

Im just wondering whats the point, a spoiler blade in real frp/carbon mix would be just as much and the same for the window spoiler so why not buy a new one in and sell the part you're replacing to fund towards it. Just makes a bit more sense to me

I wrapped a spoiler blade myself in around 10 mins with some bobble free carbon off flea bay, it cost about £15 for the carbon and was easy, I also wrapped the roof as well and that only cost £30 from flea bay and was a doddle. I don't have many pics but heres one of the roof (old car BTW) I also did the wind deflectors and scoop ect.

What happens when you get stone chips or scratches, does the whole part need to be wrapped again?

My bonnet being done by Adam at t6 customs aka uk scooby crew cracking job and 6 months on it still looks spot on with no stone chips ect


And petrol flap

Here are a couple of other cars he's done

If you can travel to stoke on Trent I don't think Adam will charge the much!!!!

isnt carbon mods proper carbon though rather than carbon wrap? im sure the kits they use have the resin etc in to make it "real" carbon fibre?

scoobyman2007

Yes so if you get a ston chip you don't have to take it off just rub it Down and and put some laker on and sortid it is good m8 have a look on the web and you will see

I know mate I run a carbon business im just trying to understand the fascination with carbon wrap, I know its alot cheaper im just trying to figure out if the wrap is good over long term like real carbon.

kingdom200

its a bit old an over done now pal....id say have it done is glossy carbon wrap if you must or black.....failing that just get it painted will be well worth it
