Carbon Wrap

**Keefyb007** · 30th March 2011, 11:00

Hi all..

I decided to wrap the steering wheel inserts that house the radio controls and the bottom one as they are looking tired and a bit worn (mat coating has scrtached off). Once I have done those, what else would you rec to wrap on the siggy..............

Cheers Bob - Blimey, that's a lot! Me thinks I may need to order some more, does anyone have any examples of what NOT to cover?

Can't you take the bits to a carbon fibre firm and get them to remake the parts in real Carbon Fibre for you? or get them to cover them??

only asking as i've been buying a few Carbon Fibre parts for my next car and they do look pretty kool in the flesh..

I was thinking this, at the moment it's purely a budget restriction based on "see if I like it first" and then go from there. I think for external use i really would go for the real carbon fibre option maybe fog surrounds?

I've only bought new carbon fibre lettering for the outisde at the mo, but i have looked at getting some CF side vents, for the inside so far i've got steering wheel controls, gearknob and airvents, price wise it's not too bad really.. There was a company I see in Woking that will do almost anything in CF for you..

That sounds very cool, if you get a second can you chuck me a pic when it's mounted? I'm still debadging so this interests me
