does look nice in the matt.

but i say leave as is and get holes filled in

the main reason for doing the wrap is that i can put my spoiler back on if i change my mind not totally sure on the spoilerless look

if thats the case then its a very good idea. only problem to point out is that over time the holes will sag and start to show under the wrap.

i love the spoilerless look on your car.

i would say your car is stunning and needs nothing done.


plus didnt i see it down llandow on saturday?

Carbon wrap on boot and roof

Not sure whether the diffuser sits with that look though (you can always sell it to me if you ditch it )

I'm assuming you'd wrap the flap as well?

Carbon fibre wrap on roof and boot lid, plus what about a carbon fibre wrap on your spoiler?

I am probably going to get a carbon fibre wrap on my roof, mirror covers and soon to be installed o/s fog lamp cover with air intake built in.

What type though of carbon fibre wrap as I have seen 2 from 3M DiNoc - one has a glossy finish and the other is a matt type finish.

I am probably going to go for the matt type finish.

matt type finish is in its raw state. where as the gloss is the finished state.

what type of weave are you going for. thats what carbon fibre is all about.

Have a look at CA-422 on the link I posted above but I am waiting for some samples from the company who will be doing the wrap.

I am sure that it is a matt finish anyway as I have seen a car already done with it.

thats very light. only reason i mention the weave is because some carbon looks utter crap if its not the right weave. i have a friend who works for maclaren making all the gearboxs and everything else you can think of in carbon fibre for the F1 team,. as you can imagine this is the most expensive stuff money can buy and when you see the difference in weave you really do notice the difference. so something close to the original stuff would be amazing.

here are a few pics of the things he made me in work.






this is a real 100% carbon weave. so try and get as close to this as you can. it will look amazing

A nice carbon wrap on the roof and bootlid, guess you'll have to cover the Generator as well, to match up to the wrap.

Personally I prefer the spoliered look - what about the red spoiler on the carbon wrapped boot - very contrasting ! - as Kev said it's your pride and joy always seems to look Coool though mate !!!

I'm not really 100% sure on the carbon diffuser myself here but I do like the idea of carbon roof and boot without the spoiler fitted.. I think that would look great.

If i was going to have it done i would just have it on the roof.
What about putting the spoiler on and having that wrapped instead of the boot.. Does look good as it is though.

I reckon it looks great without the spoiler.

I have done the same to mine.

I have blanked my holes out with Vinyl for the time being. I need to prep some vinyl and get it painted the same colour as the car.

As your car is red you could always get some red vinyl and cut small circles big enough to cover each hole.

It'll work as a temp job until you make a more permanent decision.

I'm debating getting mine done permanently but may limit interest in the car when it comes to selling. I shouldnt let that influence my decision tho as I ought to have the car exactly how I want it really.


Anyway I think your car looks great. If you want to look at mine check out the Welsh Owners sticky up top.

When my Vortex Generator blows off, I fancy having the roof done in something good

iTrader: (6)

I'm thinking the same thing, I still can't get all the adhesive off my roof after the Vortex cam off. I have 3 options, spray the roof, vinyl the roof or fit another Vortex.

With RED's car what about refitting the spoiler. Matt black roof (won't clash as bad with the Vortex) and Matt black the top blade on the spoiler, keeping the sides red?

I like the contrasting blade look

That's my vote aswell, if he puts the spoiler back on

Think carbon roof ,and spoiler blade would look awsome

I think the wrap is a great idea, matt or carbon. Its cheap and easy to reverse if you want to.

love what you have done with the wheels by the way, glad to see you kept them! They look the nuts!!!!!
