View Full Version : Vinyl Wrapping
I was given some carbon fibre effect vinyl wrap so thought i'd have another go at doing it as it's been a while since i've done any so did the alarm switch, roof lights switch (not got any spot lights yet:augie ) the switch blank on the dash & the stereo fascia. I think they all came out ok but the switches were a real pain to do:doh

Looks good but what are the weight savings of Carbon fibre - Id like to see some before and after weigh bridge figures before i do mine.
I can, as per top gear, retract my aerial to half height for less wind resistance:augie

It'll prob be a while before I do any more but there are loads of vids on youtube about it:thumbs
Well my wife wanted the ash tray wrapped to match the other bits as the dark grey was looking a bit odd so wrapped it for her but was a real pig of a job & had to do it in two sections:doh then noticed the twin cup holder really stood out so the front of that got done aswell:lol

I'm not that good yet:lol got the roof, door rubbing strips & rear bumper inserts on my mates pug 106 to do soon but did his front bumper inserts last week. One of my mates does vinyl wrapping for a living & he's done some very nice motors like Audi R8's & Bentley's:thumbs

Yip:lol:lol TBH once my paint work starts showing it's age (paint isn't as tough on this one compared to the 1999 one I had) I might get my mate to vinyl wrap the whole truck but the worst thing will be picking what colour & finish ie gloss or matte:lol
