Default custom styles in Manchester for carboning wheels

Thinking of getting my wheels carbon wrapped and this company advertising on ebay etc.

Anyone used them good or bad experiences or does anyone know anywhere else to get them done etc.

Cheers

Ian

It doesn't defeat the object if you're doing it for looks. Like the new Focus RS center console.

Maybe i should have said "this is a removable asthetic, on a removable asthetic..."

Carbon on one side and gold on the other might look good lol!
