ask d.k the carbon master lol

I would'nt do a roof myself, it's too much vinyl if you **** it up,
I'm getting board with the fake stuff the real thing is much better

 

[wayne lcr]

yea and better on price the real stuff i bet

Alright gents,just to chip in,my onvi LC is going in to have the bonnet and roof done in 3M Di-noc carbon on the first of june,when its all done i will get some pics up. I went to look at the roll of it today and it looks cracking stuff,not cheap mimnd you.

 

[wayne lcr]

is that a carbon wrapped bonnet?

 

[keaney]

Well not real carbon,that would cost bloody loads lol. Its the 3M stuff,looks cool but does not have the polished depth you get from real carbon,but for a day to day car its pretty sweet.

 

[wayne lcr]

how much did it cost if you dont mind me asking

 

[keaney]

Well iam not really sure at the moment! Thing is iam having it done with a few other stickers and stuff as iam doing this years modball rally,we are still sorting the price as theres a little "sponsorship" involed from the guys fitting it,when i know the price i will p.m you it if you want?

 

[wayne lcr]

i dont want it done mate i ant a carbon fan just asking thats all

im tempted mind

How does this 3M stuff react to a peppering of stone chips? How easily can it withstand abuse? Something to consider on a daily driver.

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

i would like to know the outcome on that too , as mines a daily driver

my post got deleted about asking how much the roof costs ££,

i guess i should have been clearer in my post
I merely wanted to gauge a rough costing , as im no where near any of you off here , so wasnted a gauge of price , so when i decide if i want it when ringing around i will know whos too pricey

It will not chip the only thing it will do is scratch, I have wrapped quite a few now

How would you do a roof without wrapping it? you can buy a kit to bond real carbon fibre to metal which would look alot better than my wrapping service but then you have more weight which defeats the object unless you cut the roof out

For all you carbon junkies out there!

 

[Murdered LCR]

Right I just see a new vw sirroco (sp) in White with the bonnet wrapped in the 3m vinyl in my eyes it looked proper crap really cheap and nasty if you want a carbon bonnet pay out for one like robs you can't beat how it looks when sun shines off it , now I like the 3m stuff on small bits say interiour etc and poss the roof , ,

I totally agree with that Dan dont look no good...far too dull.
