Default Need some Carbon Fibre Vinyl

I bought 2 sheets of this stuff - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...ayphotohosting
to use on my rear wing as a stone guard, the car came with a sticker guard there, but mine is in the bodyshop for the full works so has been ripped off!
The sheets that I bought are up to the job, and look the part with the proper weave, but I'm only able to use one sheet for one side to get the angle of the weave the way I want it

The size I need is 2off 350mm X 350mm, this is enough to cut my template out of, and hopefully get the weave the way I want it on both sides, no way I'm doing it opposites

anyone got any suggestions where I could get it? or other suggestions?

this is the original


the shape can be seen a bit better here

(not my car above)

yeah, but I'm kinda needing this soon, as the car is hopefully coming out of the bobdyshop the end of next week. If i were to go down that road, i'd need the car wherever they've got the carbon to get a mould, then cut to shape and then bonded on, wouldn't I???

I get it by the roll matey, they are either 500mm wide or 1000mm wide and have probably got a couple of metres left of the 500mm wide stuff. Can order as much as you need though.

They are mirror polished TT Comps Paul, and as you may notice there are 5 stud, which would either invlove getting 4x100 to 5x100 adaptors or changing the hubs to 5 stud, that varient of adaptors isn't too good due to the closeness of the bolt hols on the PCD. Yeah they do look quite good on them


But I got good news yesterday, have been on the phone to Germany a few times this week and last, and a set left Germany direct from Keskin yesterday to the refurbers Oh and including the express shipping, is £40 less than what those bams were charging me that promised me them 6-8 weeks ago
