spursmaddave Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Not mine, there are loads if you search google but I tried to find an Azure Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
spursmaddave Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 You don't see so many Azure ones done as it is too nice a colour to cover up Loads of boring grey ones with CF bonnets Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Kev Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) I honestly think carbon wrap is awful...especially on a bonnet. It looks cheap and nasty. This is a much better option. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/96324-who-wants-a-carbon-bonnet-d/ Edited April 3, 2015 by Kev Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Don't do it mate ....... It's a fine line with the zed IMO .... A few visual mods can work wonders ..... But too many can spoil it . Just my opinion though Quote
srad34 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 If you want a carbon bonnet, buy a genuine one, why bother having a fake one? Quote
Ekona Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Same reason people spend a fortune on body kits whilst not doing any power mods: To make the car look faster than it actually is? 1 Quote

Ricey Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 If you do make sure you get a decent quality vinyl. There is some right crap on eBay that to the naked eye looks ok but it's really terrible. It's a 2 man job really and you'll need a lot of patience if you're not used to doing it yourself. Heat gun or hair dryer is essential and you'd really benefit from a proper wrapping squeegy thingamabob (felt edged). Quote

Nothing wrong with a decent wrap, don't listen to people saying it has to be a real CF body part, from what I have seen a lot don't fit perfectly, at least with wrap it is cheap and if you don't like it then easily reversible in 20 seconds Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Bobby D Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Can you get a gloss finish on a wrap? All the ones I'v seen don't and look terrible! If fitted correctly you can't beat real carbon products! My mate does the carbon dip, now that looks good as you get a wicked finish! After I fit my chrome bits into my engine bay I'm getting a few bits dip by him so I'll put pics up and let you see Quote

Jetpilot Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 All depends on your prospective I would imagine some people have worked long and hard and saved for one, quite offensive you should choose to call their car cheap. Quote
