got some 3m di-noc carbon wrap in the post and set about getting some jobs done.

wrapped the rear light strips,gear surround and the front bumper lip.

its a total pleasure to work with and the end result in the flesh is quite impressive cos it has a certian 3-d like weave to it.

got it from an ebayer but since the order it would have worked out cheaper either buying in bulk and selling the excess or going to them direct doh.

thank u.

the stuff is very workable you just need a little heat on each move you make and it goes like jelly to it tries to mould itself to the shape you present to it.

when it sets which is about 10 seconds later(have to be quick there),its rock hard and rigid set.

it would be quite easy to wrap a ton of stuff but it would def be over kill and take all the impact away,so i wont be wrapping much else now.

Very nice, discreet and subtle, the way all car mods should be.

we masked off the lights and tinted then lacquered and finally carbon wrapped the bottom strips.

funnily enough im not totally happy with them so they will ne completely stripped and started all over again.
if i cnat get something perfect,i dont want to have it on the car.

got some updated pics from this morning.washed and waxed and got the mirros wrapped too which i tried as a suck it and see mod,luckily it doesnt look overkill and has gelled well with the rest of the ideas on the car.
