My first attempt using carbon wrap material, not totally happy with the results but a good learning curve for a second attempt

That looks really good, and I cant see anything to be unhappy about from the pictures, but you're probably a perfectionist like me and any tiny little corner which isnt perfect will annoy you, thats why I darent attempt to do mine myself as I just know i'll never get it perfect enough.

 

Looks fine to me, what you not happy about?
I did my triangle cubby hole top and the bit around the gear stick (the bit you havn't done) a while ago but never got round to doing the rest. Yours might give me a bit of inspiration now.
I also did my engine cover. sorry for the hijack.

 

I think a contrasting colour would look better.. to me it all blends in to much...but just my view


See you on the 14th.

Russ.. Black and silver engine bay looking good. Never used carbin wrap..is it effected by the engine heat?

Yeah! ken, i'm not sure if i like it!!! but I hate the silver plastic!!! The photo's don't show it very well, but there is more of a difference between the carbon and the matt black trim
I will live with it for a short while and if it grows on me I will re-do it OR!!............ I could try painting it!!!!

 

looks a good effort from the pics Mo.....i think i must be the only one who quite likes the silver trim panels,,,......what i dont like about any of the stick on overlays, wraps or even painting them unless the switchgear and radio is changed for the black ones out of an slk i think the contrast between the silver switches and and radio and the surround trim just looks wrong.....just my opinion (which counts for nothing)....

 

Ken... Heat doesn't affect it at all, its still as good as the day I did it.

 

have you tried hydro-dipping... ok you'd have to take the bits n bobs off but it could look awesome

 

yeah saw that on TV, if I grow to like the carbon look I may go down that route.
