hello all ive been messing about with the carbon 3M stuff and its good but can be very tricky to put on , you need to really take ya time to get a good end result here,s my bit ive done its the climate control, as in evo 4,5,6

 

wow that looks like the real thing

 

yeah looks very good that

 

you have to make sure ya buy this stuff mate

Real 3M CARBON FILM 30x120cm CA-421 DI-NOC SERIES

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

 

my first atempt took around 2hours but that bit only took around 45mins, the trick is to let the hairdryer do most of the work, and dispite what people tell ya it can be used on the outside of the car

 

ive been using this for months now.

use it every week., ive done motorbike helmets, car roofs, wheels, etc

will post pictures but not sure how to do it

 

Is there anyway you could make it shiny rather than the matt finish?

 

 

laquer it after

looks good that

 

how do you cut the holes out on the wheel so nicely?

 

shouldn't put stickers on motor bike helments mate, makes them not ass strong for some reason same with painting them etc

 

you meen a wet carbon, i own a vehicle wrapping company and have heard that the wet look didnt work, so there still trying,

theres a slightly glossier one made by a differentn compay, can be seen in the last two pictures of the 3 series roof

 

its on the plastic attachments, not the main shell

 

it looks very smart

 

im very impressed by the look, it looks great

 

Thats true in some cases, it depends what the helmet is made from.

 

Course it does.

 

ild of thought that nowadays they should be ok, they are painted on the gp riders bikes as rossis helmet with the donkey on was a sticker.

 

How come that stuff stretches without pulling the stripes out of line ?
i cant see how its stretched round corners and into dishes without altering the carbon pattern ?

 

it does if your not carefull, depends on how deep the dish is, but if it was very deep, yould start from inside the deepest section

 

another pic of it in the car



and the bottom bit that took me ages to do

 

you done anymore mate

 

Hmmm the factory carbon interior bits on my Megane look crap, more of a brown kevlar weave than carbon, might pick up some second hand bits and have a go at trimming them with this stuff, always thought it'd look tacky but the stuff above looks pretty good.

 

don't suppose you have the 3m part number by any chance do you?

 

Rare radio mate

I've had some for ages and couldn't decide whether it was tacky to do or not.. I did my climate surround and it does look good IMO, it's certainly a lot better than the Ralliart optional 'carbon' surround which looks like a 5 year old painted light and dark grey squares onto it (and is silly money) It certainly shames any carbon look stuff I've seen up until now. It actually has a genuine feel about it, like the mock weave is 3d and you can feel that.

 

theres much better stuff from a company called hexis, but its Ł57 plus vat a metre, looks even more like carbon

 

did this bonnet vent but again very tricky to get right!!

 

Looks great that

 

that looks very good

 

Just wait for the snobs to come on and say 'ooh but its not real carbon, your actually adding to the weight of your car and its pointless'

Is there a nack to it? Or can a fud like me do it?

 

the vent looks very good mate

 

thanks guys, the trick is to spend along time ensuring you get no wrinkles and you get all the corners absolutly spot on!! funny thing is i saw a real carbon one yesterday and it dident look as good..

andy

 

would that work?if so it would be nearly exact same

 

how much is it to do a roof in it then can any sign writer get hold of it then??

 

off topic.. love ya avator mate

 

That looks spot on

 

Cant get on with the stuff. Done a small bit on the car but it just looks odd.As it dont match my other carbon stuff which has a propper finish on.. Tried abit of laquer and looks shit still. Already had the piss taken asking why ive put a carbon sticker on a part lol.

 

Thought this was the mob to use??

For some reason no matter what anyone says CF looks hot. I don't care if its vinyl or the real thing. I don't even care if some people think its played out. HOTNESS.

In fo' pics!

 

Omg this is giving me ideas, i was going to send off my interior out my corsa away to get flocked, mite do this insdead, that would look fucking meaty
