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.

 

Matt Baxter is a wizz with carbon, give him a shout mate

 

im sure matt will see the thread ,

is there variouse types of wrap ,

ive seen some that looks like a fablon with the carbon effect printed on , and others that seem to be actual carbon sheet ?

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....

 

your gonna need to run by me what your planning mr beef

 

You got beef with beef?

as above jay ,


yeah got you number fella, bus wasnt sure how busy you were with work ,

beef

 

i want some stuff carbon wrapped but what i want doing ive heard is going to be a nightmare

unless jay can help then he should get on msn

 

he aint got beef

but EVERYONE knows when the words carbon and mk 3 go together it HAS to be ran by gus lol,


anyway , if he kicks up too much of a stink ill just sit on him lol

 

tbh and not what you want to hear me mate but done in carbon it will never look right as there will be to many joins but in vinyl then maybe but again will look fake and gash get it flocked in my humble opinion dude

 

all should be easy enough to do dude

what would the door cards be made from ?

 

if you get price for roof let us no beefy .i wana do me focus roof save me painting it again

 

this guy on soc in top notch at covering in actual carbon

well there is that mate , if it could be done without being tacky id be up for it ,

may just go black , not really a fan of flocking tbh

i was thinking have the fabric sections of the oe doorcard done in leather , poss the perfarated recaro style to match the seats ,and the doorhandle / cubby thing wrapped in carbon ,

and them the top hat trim that goes over the top of the doorcard done in carbon aswell ,


it makes sense in me head lol , and i reackon the contrast will work , if i tie the theme throught the whole interior


you know what i mean gus ?


beef

i have the look of it in my head,

 

i prefer to mold the item and make it in carbon

 

yep i got ya

been a while since i seen a std door card

what about the black fillet bit in the top cap done in carbon

 

i dont want any of the factory grey in the car gus ,

its all got to be black,


jay , how ridgid does something have to be for you to take a mould of it mate , ??

beef

 

now beeff was discussing this on nemm the other day an this company in darlo came highly recommended watch the demo vid on there site

http://www.signsexpress.co.uk/DurhamSouth

supposedly there work

 

think the interior sections would look good in that 3m matt carbon stuff, my mate wrapped he's phone battery in it and it looks good

 

RA Decal might be worth an email.

 

Anyone know of anyone good in kent/SE london area?

Sorry for hijacking you thread beefy

 

imo fake carbon is just halfords and you can tell it a mile away

 

I want to wrap a bonnet on a zetec s. It's either that, or get it painted black... Which do you think would be better?

 

fake carbon would better than black in my opinion, some places can do areally good job

 

Black then you will not feel the need to join your homies at maccy D's car park

 

i got some 3m backd matt carbon for my quarter stone gaurds ,shame you carnt get in big sheet woulda done me roof 2

 

You can get it upto 1370mm wide by 50/100m long, iirc.

 

anyone got a link then ??

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.

 

that just sold it for me deffo carbon rap roof 100quid cheaper than me repainting it buy time i messd bout sanding ect

 

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 his mk5 RS2000 bonnet done at trax last year by a company called RACOON,
the quality is incredible, you can even feel the weave on it http://www.raccoon.co.uk/

 

that looks well fella,

going to give the firm close to me a tinkle and see what there prices are like ,


beef

 

We gotta a "wrapper" in our town

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