final stage of carbon wrap... Page 6!!

[bounty78]

Looks . Almost like Andy's but without the body kit. Would look even on a kitted car and with some windows tint.

[cfoster]

Window tints are definitely the next thing on the list. As for the kit i'm steering clear, i'm going to go for the extra low stretched tyre look me thinks!!

Bin the stretched tyres - GHEY!

 

Extra low with fat tyres!

I luuurve stretched tyres on a slammed car

[cfoster]

Stretched tyres ALL DAY LONG!!!!! Not keen on fatty tyres!!! Wont be for a while though as i've got a garden to do up first (so the missus says!!)

[davetstan]

Looking good Chris. How many hours has it taken in total??? Like it though mate. Very unusual.

 

The K1 pipes look superb to. I might try and get a set on mine instead of the Scorpion slashed ones which I think are dull.

if your going to run with the bungs in on the K! take them out and spray them with a matt black heat proof paint, then put back in

Good idea! At least nobody can see you are a pussy then!!

[350ash]

Looking really good.

 

Just wondering, can you wrap the wheels too? Don't know if the wrap could cope with the heat and they'd probably be a right pain to do too but would finish it off quite nicely.

I know mate keep meaning to get them done but not enough hours in the day!! Its far too loud with them out!!

 

Time wise I havent a clue, a fair few hours!!

 

350Ash - It has crossed my mind but not sure. Im may wrap the spokes / centre and see what it looks like / how long it lasts!!

[shire350Z]

looks great mate only think i would do is to fit some bigger wheels they look a little lost the rays

[cfoster]

Definitely true mate although that will be a way down the line, the missus nearly collapsed when she realised how much the vinyl cost!!!! I think i'll settle for some spacers me thinks!

[rtbiscuit]

spacers will make a big difference

[adam1942]

wow thats lovely mate. Can't wait to see it finished +1 on getting the rear window tinted though

[cfoster]

Well nearly finished now, front bumper is now done, just the mirror to do and a couple of panels to redo!

 

[AK350Z]

Good dedication there mate, looks like thats taken a fair bit of effort.

[Woody]

You have done a great job mate. But I cant help thinking it looks a bit out of place. IMO the car needs a bodykit and much bigger and better alloy wheels to pull it off. But its your car

Hats off to you mate, again cracking job

[Andy]

Great job, I admire your patience!

[IanS16]

Not a fan of the matt carbon vinyl (in most applications) but I can really appreciate the DIY effort, you've done an excellent job!

 

I wouldn't have a clue where to start

[andlid]

I'm jelaous your the first one that I know off doing this! It's great though, might make me dare take the plunge!

 

 

Great job! Black powder coated wheels and green calipers next?

[malibu stacey]

Fair play to you for attempting it yourself!!! Looks great!

 

I tinted my rear lenses with vinyl and never attempting something so time consuming again!!! Looks fantastic.....

 

What wrap did you use? Have had a few different opinions, everyone always thinks their product is more superior! So a bit baffled about who to use.

[UNABASHED]

at first I loved it, now that it's complete I astill like it but like otehrs have said it's like something is missing and that something is a more aggressive bodykit I think. a kit coupled with nicer wheels and I think it would look stunning

 

Bravo on the effort - looks great!

[M13KYF]

your hard efforts look great but sadly matt cars are not my cup of tea

[Digsy]

Looks like you're doing a good job but not my cup of tea. I agree it would look better with a kit and bigger alloys.

[cfoster]

As said a few pages back i'm still not 100% sure if I like it and will be happy with it. Everyone that has seen it in the flesh says it looks superb, and people have even been stopping in the street taking pics! Not interested in bodykits etc but reckon a nice set of wheels and slammed it would look better. Perhaps 30mm spacers on the rear and 25mm at the front with a set of coilovers of eibach springs will help.

 

Still a big part of me is thinking to rip it off and go white with carbon roof! Or maybe even a deep glossy orange and black combo! Would be far far cheaper to do! What ya reckon?!

 

malibu-stacey - its the 3M DiNoc stuff i'm using.

 

Got loads left on the roll if anyone is interested in buying any.
