Carbon wrapped boot lid - opinions / what's it worth?

[SamN]

I'm in two minds about my boot lid. It's currently wrapped in satin carbon fibre vinyl. This was done professionally and looks great, however I feel it looks a bit out of place on it's own.

 

Option 1: Replace with colour coded boot lid

Option 2: Wrap the roof / A pillars etc so that the whole top half would be carbon wrapped

 

I'm open to over options! What are your thoughts?

 

If I went with the first option, I would either remove the wrap and sell it on, or sell the boot lid and buy a black one. I'm not sure what'd be most cost-effective.

 

I found a black one on ebay for £206 - is this the going rate?

 

How much would my boot lid be worth with the carbon wrap?

 

Cheers

Sam

Not a fan of carbon wrap, I find it looks cheap, so option 1 for me

Why can't you just remove the vinyl wrap to reveal the original boot lid? No need to buy another boot lid IMO.

The previous owner removed the spoiler, filled the holes and wrapped it, so it'd need a re-spray.. I was just thinking of the most cost effective way of sorting it

 

Edit: That said, if I bought another spoiler to go on, I may be able to work a way around that. I won't know until I remove the wrap though!

 

Think I'll get a quote on spraying it first.
