has anybody used any carbon wrap?

my double din facia panel is showing signs of wear and was looking at the options to cover it but there are hundreds of different ones!!

I have some which I used successfully to wrap my rear and front diffusers on the X6.
Funnily enough I have a decent length left (ooeer missus) in the garage and am happy to donate to your job.
Just PM me your address details and I'll send it off.
It's excellent stuff, applied using gentle heat.  The weave is fantastic and moulds to parts/edges really well.
Beer tokens should we ever meet is the name of the game
(and they say such bad things about me on this site!!)

thank you for your generosity

pm sent

He's a top bloke, gave me some freebies too. Gonna be completely shit-faced at the next meet!

If you want some ideas, here's my interior a few years back.

The good stuff is usually DiNoc 3M.

I dont

I only say good things lol.  Ive had one of his packages.  Thankyou again

Dinoc 3m that's the stuff.  Pm received from mr smith

Robin is a star for sure.

Gave me some of the wrap too as well as other bits.

The cf wrap is easy to work with and does the job a treat.

Hmmmmm , will have to look out for some of that stuff in Silver Meethinks .

how do you do the wrap round corners and radiussed edges etc.,?

Smee

gratefully recived!

And a lot of it too!!!

Another question... the double din faceplate i have has some raised profiles to give a 'lip' over the top. I have wrapped it and yet it doesn't seem to stay stuck down to the raised bit where i have stretched it.

Have used the hair dryer..

Any tips??

oh and while I'm at it... what do people think to wrapping the aluminium side steps in cf? would it last and stand the weather?

this is not easy...  >:( lol

I found it really easy to work with.  Have you got overtly big hands?!
Gentle heat, smooth it round and use a craft knife to slit for corner bends, then overlap under heat to form corners.
Don;t try to stretch it

normal corners have gone ok, its the more tricky edges that I've struggled with.. and i did try stretching around corners!! lol


has anybody done the door handles? not the grabs, the actual 'pulley' bit

searched everywhere and cannot find anybody that has done the handles..

they look silly being the only silver piece on the door..

think of it as being "highlights" or "contrasting" rather than silly ........
