Default Carbon Fibre Wrapping

Just spotted this on DW and hadn't seen it before. Could be a cheap alternative for a lot of RS owners

Imo of course it does look well shit in real life i saw a BMW at a meet a today with it and it looked gash. Even on the interior it looks poor, just looks like BMW's shitty standard carbon look stuff.

The vinyl is awesome mate, it has a 8 - 10 year life and is very comformable. Its no worse than any of the conventional cast vinyl colours you can get!

That looks quite nice, where in Essex are you? And what roughly does it cost for say a bonnet or roof on a smallish car-fiesta size?

Peeps that have requested me for prices etc, please can you all pm me with what you want! For bonnets / roofs etc I will need dimensions to work out the amount of vinyl involved.

Oranoco, as said above you can get it on ebay but make sure its the GENUINE 3M Di Noc vinyl and nothing other. You can get cheap imitations and have seen some people advertising it as the real deal!!

I was going to spray up an ERST bonnet in white to match the car, but I do like the idea of this wrapping and would like to ask anyone that does it what sort of price would I be looking at to do the bonnet and maybe the vents aswell?

Looking at the above posts around Ł160 is the going rate for a bonnet, with vents maybe a bit more?

Wonder what it looks like Lacequed, If you can get some of the carbon fibre shine as it looks a little fake imo, still great for the price.
