Your local signwriter should be able to help.

Wrapping is a skill so not all sign makers do it but alot of them will. Just go in and ask.

Big lad, i used some of it on my turbo. Call Carbon Mods and ask 'em. Ask for Matt, say i sent you over. But i doubt they will do panels, they are only small sheets.

Other than that, Pumaspeed have had a couple of the roofs done on Focus RS's. You saw the one at Autosport didn't you? Looks good to be fair, but the company name escapes me, ask them who they used, that shit fools people.

Come to mention it there was a company at Trax last year who wrapped an R33 GTR bonnet in carbon. I'll have a look for they're name....

Not sure if you can buy online but they are suppliers i've dealt with before. Best to phone them and ask prices and sizes.

Got to be confident to do a whole car carbon wrap on a nice RS4 Avant.
Have a look here before you decide. I think I read that a roof or bonnet wrapped came in around 100 quid. If the finish is like this, then well worth it.

Love that audi! Only real problem when wrapping with carbon wrap is keeping the weave straight, will stick out like a sore thumb if its all wonky!

My mate had some bits done on his 3 series which looked suprisingly convincing hence the reply
