Hi Guys,
Im new the the forum and quite intrested in Carbon wrapping parts of my car.
I have posted 3 pics of my Focus bellow, the only addition to the visual affect of the car is that i have blacked out the rear windows and slightly darkened the passanger windows.
As i am not exactly a Pro, honestly im 20, at uni and most my friends spend money on VERY OLD cars and have done little bits to them (which i think look crap) Where as i Spend a bit more money on a dicent car got alloys, blacked out the windows.
I know its only stylish stuff im going for, BUT as im inexperienced i dont want to rush into moding up my car to find that i cant insure it due to OVER PRICE or it was a waste of money all together.
I was hoping to leave it upto the experts to let me know what would look good.
Because of the cars colour i thought having the Wing mirrors, door handles and car bonet would look good. Other suggesting and combinations are much appriciated!

for carbon to look right using photoshop you need as minimal reflections as possible / simple big reflections tree's make it very difficult to make look right
just to help understand incase no one takes you up

Hi Guys,
Iv tried looking and those pictures are the best one's i can find, it dosent help that the only camera i have is very crap!
Im not expecting amazing quality, just a bit of a hint to what it could look like.
I dont want the whole car carbon fibred, just certain parts to make the appearence look better. Im not sure what the best combination is. e.g. wing mirrors, bonet and hood etc. Possibly play around and see what looks best.
You guys are the pro's at this stuff =D

Thanks for the advice,
But i am not to keen on selling up my car at this current time. As this is my first car and a 45 plate which has been past to me 2 years ago by my dad which had it brand new. Its been looked after very well, so i wouldent want to sell it and buy a slightly newer car which is VERY over priced and possibly been wrecked under the hood!
I understand what you mean by buying a 3rd, because it potentialy look's alot better done up.
Also i got those alloys from a mate that works at a garage, his customer got them referbished then decided to buy new alloys anyway. Mate sold them to me for £50 haha, i would say bargin for being referbished aswell =D
Im looking forward to seeing what the carbon wrap looks like. Just from opinion would it look good to have that colour car with carbon wrap components?
