Alrite all , just an update on carbon wrapping this is a new bonnet i have done today its a corsa b bay boy bonnet,

Fully wraped all round the edges and over the top what do you all think .

I know some of you think why waste your money on carbon wrapp buy the real thing, but tbh this does look really good,

Pics arnt the best as there from a iphone but you can still see good results

If you saw the after pics only I would defy you to tell if it was vinyl. It's not got the shine that CF has due to lack of laquer I'm assuming but it still looks real.

But no matter how real it looks, all it's doing is adding weight. And with fake carbon fibre you're always going to look like a dick when somoene asks about it - you're either going tell them that it is real and be a dick for lying, or look like a dick when you explain that it's not real, you just wanted it to look like CF.

Sorry but it's just not my thing at all, it's like giving someone a bit of jewellery that you got in a christmas cracker as an engagement ring and pretending it's a real diamond.

very good job but a bit of a conflict of interest type product, the people that want carbon bonnets are not the type of people that will want one thats fake

tbh ford put carbon fibre effect centre console surrounds in the focus st/rs and no one asked me whether mine was real or fake or called me a dick for having ''fake'' carbon on the dash.

Fake or not you've done a good job wrapping it, not the easiest of shapes to wrap.
