I'm interested too as I want the roof of my Mini Carbon wrapped as I can't be bothered to have the gloss black machined.

I had a pro job done on my Clio roof and the finish was perfect, most people thought it was painted and it lasted for 3 years still looking mint.

I bought some vinyl online and started doing my Mazda in the summer and it was easy enough and the finish was good. Wasn't a patch on the pro job but enough vinyl for a full car only cost £60 vs. the roof job close to £200.

Car cosmetics in south shields Aly, superb work but not cheap in the slightest.

[dondan]

If you just need the roof machine polishing i can do that in an hour for you?

[simmo]

Looks good when done right. Looks gash when its bodged.

Check out my mates Paul and Reiss at PWPro for some amazing wraps.

A bit far from you for just a roof but if you ever need the whole car doing they are the lads!

[LSOfreak]

nah i meant im getting carbon wrapped ;) well thinking about it at moment as its been sprayed over, and too much work to get it back how it was, kinda thinking decent carbon wrap then lacquer if i can

I can't recommend this guy enough! :y:

carbon dipped rather than wrapped if poss?

[Nates-VTR]

not really a fan of carbon wrap, it always looks too obviously fake :homme:

I agree I've my a,b and c pillars wrapped and it is noticeably fake but it does look good in the interior, bonnets and roofs would be a no go for me, thinking of getting some plasti dip also, basically the same thing in a can that is easier to apply haha

Ah cool,
Haha cheers for offer Dan but I would love it carbon wrapped actually, so you reckon for the roof on mine it would be about £200?#

Also I agree with blackie and matt I've seen some awesome wrap jobs, would love to have my Mini done

[dondan]

Most likely around £200 bud yeah. I'd highly recommend car cosmetics If you don't mind paying a premium, quality of the wrap on my Clio was perfect.

Wouldn't hesitate going back to them if I had a car worth it :).

[Yates]

whats this dipping?! seen bits but where does it?

[dondan]

Search for the companies demos on YouTube Yates, there's a handful of places in the UK doing plastidipping.

It's expensive for a full car, close to the price of a full respray if I remember right (north of £1500).

There's a guy on ZSOC who does wrapping and his work is superb, his companies called Autowrap.

[Yates]

i only want a splitter doing

[dondan]

Buy the plastidip from tinterweb and crack on! It's dead easy to use on small applications, I'd question it's durability on a splitter though- one chip and it can be peeled off.

Jesus 1500 for a car and its so easy to do if you have a gun and compressor! Fook all masking either

Technique plays a big part, that said if you have a gravity feed gun and the right gear chances are you have acquired the skills to use it as well.

They do sell a "pro" application kit which comes with the right gun etc. which can obviously be reused.

Wrap or paint for me, having used plasticoat I wasn't that impressed with it, others love it and will tell you it's awesome.
