They said it would be to costly for them to do it as they have done them before and not made money on them.

Phil was saying the problem with the small stuff,it was holding up the big stuff getting done and unfortunatly it was not cost effective,i think if you placed a big order for bits and mentioned you wanted a set, he would do them specially

problem with that 3m carbon wrap is its in a matt finish, and just doesnt look like genuine carbon, can spot it a mile off as stick on stuff.

unsure whether wrapped parts could be lacquered after, or if it wud bury the carbon effect weave in the process leaving them just looking shiny black? lol

its quite easy to work with mate
when you get the curves etc just use a hairdryer and it goes soft and bends round corners,sort of lol
some skill involved i guess,but really not hard atall

i got my sheet off ebay,Ł10 delivered for 1metre by 600mm.
got loads left too
get some and have a bash matey

i read somewhere that if you lacqur it,it goes like gloss black and you cant see the pattern.
ill try a bit and see

appreciate it probably doesnt look as good as real carbon,but it also costs about a 100th of the price lol
and is a nice change to a painted finish on somethings

It's a shame they dont do the smaller stuff as I wanted a set of Compomotive Centre Caps and door handles. But if they don't make any money out of it, why would they? I wouldn't.
