Vinyl Wrapping

[Sweety]

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 ) 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

The speedo surround on mine is black with silver flecks which looks a tiny bit lick carbon might do a few other bits yet

Do a tutorial, please, I have always wondered how it was done.

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

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 then noticed the twin cup holder really stood out so the front of that got done aswell

I'm not that good yet 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

Yip 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
