Sorry Chris,
It's a bit fiddly as I have the item to hold the the hair dryer and as it cools you wrap the 'carbon' and pull it tight, I've never done this before so was more than please. Not sure how what etc will stand up to it? Mo I'm glad you like it Will aim to fit on the weekend so will update, if looks ok I will have to take my fronts off and so them. |

My 90 has various parts wrapped (1st owner who had some work done then sold) I wasn't sure about wrapping, especially on bits 'in the firing line' but 25K miles later with no 'don't go there' treatment it still looks good. Mine has the 3M Silver Carbon (which is very close to Stornoway Grey) so far mud, stones, and 'hedgerow scraps' are all OK. I suspect that the Vinyl would fair about the same as the paint if subjected to sharp 'pin-point' impact...whilst the damage would look different, both would suffer. I have watched this applied to reasonably complex surfaces...that at first you would think are not suitable for a flat '2 dimensional' film...but with heat, careful stretching, and skill it works.

Not to my taste either, but a job really well done. I dread to think what it would look like if I tried. |

Agreed

I'm about to try wrapping my bumper in a gloss black vinyl to give it a fresh lease of life. At £8 a roll of wrap its definitely worth a try

Porny had a carbon wrapped roof, I really liked it.
A 'mate of a mate' had his Audi wrapped in an iridescent colour a few weeks ago, he fell out with his missus and she 'keyed' it, front to back. Bitch! |
