Am thinking about carbon wrapping a few small parts, anyone recommend a good wrap? Or parts which look good wrapped?

If it looks gash and not worth my time then please tell me

3M wrap is the best quality wrap

As said above 3m is the best I've used.. I just done my pillars inside... Looks good but a bit difficult, just do small subtle bits and it will look decent :)

Cheap stuff is goood on large panels with now much 'wrapping' to do.
EG- roof, bonnet ETC

Real carbon(even carbon skinning is better than the vinyl) or no carbon imo.

That does look like its been done well though:y: Just not a fan of random black body panels.

Dipping looks good, I wasn't gonna go mad with the wrap just the chevrons and a few little interior bits maybe centre console as mine is a horrible grey

Yes little bits will loook goood and not too over the top.


May be quite hard to wrap your centre console though :P .... Good luck if you do ;)

I think the centre console could actually be quite challenging so I might just spray it, looks horrible at the minute, am thinking low gloss black, nice and subtle

Your spoiler looks a nice touch David, but the roof isn't too my taste. You've done a good job of it though, looks smooth

It can look good if subtle, not so good when it's overdone.

Maybe wrap the chevrons, mirror caps and glovebox cover?..
