Was carbon wrapping- now my thread! New pics!

Post by MODDED9N »

PICS DOWN BELOW!!!

Got a carbon wrapped badge off Tim_GTI (Cheers for that!):

Got some carbon wrap of ebay and did my mirrors:

Then finished up with my inserts on my steering wheel:

The mirror was an absolute effort to start off with them got easy!

Just did my air vents, looks sick!

Looks awesome mate!

This is becoming quite a fashion! It does instantly transform crap plastic 8)

Do you have to remove the steering wheel inserts to do this?

Cheers Tim ;) Yes you do have to take out the steering wheel inserts if u want the best job but they simply just pop out cos they are just clipped in to a rubber mould so you dont have to worry about breaking any clips :P And it is just an instant transformation eh!

On a scale of 1 to 10 i would say about 7! To be honest, just use a hair dry or a head gun and it makes it very easy as it makes it more malleable and easy to shape!! Was easy at the end :P

Have you got a better picture of the bottom of your grills?

I'm sizing mine up and not sure what to do where there's a slight indent and the white logos for the vent control are displayed. I've notice you've kept yours visible but can't work how what you've done by those pictures. Do you cut specific holes for them?
