I am a mong yes so would not attempt myself, you can get proper carbon panels but very very expensive, and dont look any better, i assume the wrap is genuine carbon?

The wrap is a covering that in some cases very strongly resembles carbon (often its made with a similar weave), but if it was actually proper carbon fibre with the correct resin etc then it wouldnt bend.
Some of it looks pretty convincing though.
This is it on a car I featured recently, but obviously they can do it on a less powerful car like yours as well:
Was only a few hundred quid for the roof and mirrors IIRC, can probably get you some contact details if you like.
At a glance it would definately have fooled me that it was real.

I'm normally the first to moan about fake carbon fibre, but the latest wrap stuff looks really convincing. This place www.sjsdesign.com does a good job!

PassionFord Post Whore!!
I can do it for you mate, doing a full wrap on my 350Z as we speak! Will only use the proper 3M Di Noc vinyl so no cheap imitations!!
