so looking up getting some of this but was wondering where everyone gets theres? how cheap it is? and if there is a good type to get? need a fair bit of it because i may do it wrong a lot and looking into doing interior and exterior stuff

this is what i found http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3m-Carbon-Fibre-Wrap-vinyl-600mm-x-1200mm-/180578137276?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a0b4bb4bc

cheers in advance

Looks a fair price

Good stuff, got some on mine
seems like other people have used this exact stuff and have said its good. planning on doing interior door handels, passenger and drivers side, the centre console and ash tray and thinking about doing my wing mirrors
thats the stuff....

...makes me wanna buy some more..

but what to wrap.. rims!! mmm... done everthing else!! lol..
haha ive thought of so many things to wrap[:p] even thought bonnet but that may be ott. and the wing mirrors ill just have to have a few shots at it
Looks realy good, I take it u took your mirrors off then wrapped them , and how long did it take you ?
i think the best quality one is the 3m di noc stuff mate

If you want to put a real carbon fibre skin on parts, have a look here!

Looks pretty involved, but will look the nuts when done right! I'm gonna have a go when I find some stubby mirrors.
I'v seen some blue carbon fibre take a look

not gonna lie the blue stuff looks quite cool but probably not in my car haha. got some black stuff for christmas and put it on, its the shiny stuff though out of halfords
i found it really hard to wrap my mirror on my golf need to redo them
As said, that's the best stuff (but I'm a bit biased [whistle])

If you use it on the outside, I would suggest a fair amount of lacquer. Because the 3M stuff is textured, polish is a beast to get off it unless it's sealed.

Did four coats of lacquer on my filler flap, just in case [Y]

Mirrors look awesome, but not sure my skills are up to it yet [:(]

Just received my white carbon in the post today for some interior highlights [H]

Be Warned - IT'S ADDICTIVE!!!
See less See more
theres no way im ready to do my wing mirrors haha some parts on my interior need re done but im running out of the stuff and its kinda exspensive
i had a look at that blue carbon fibre.. ive asked them to post me a free small sample to see the colour match to the Jazz Blue!!! so you never know... lol..

well its free if it looks crap then my phone will be wrapped in blue.. lol..
