I'll be interested to see the results! I am looking at the mirrors done, the separation between the windows (Coupe) and the black bumper strips. I have the C4 in grey/blue colour (not sure how it is called) and it would look awesome on it! |

Just trying to find another cover on ebay. One that is cheap would be nice. Just in case I dislike the look. Least then I could go back to my normal yellow mirrors. | ||

Just got a reply from Streamline Carbon. They only do the Pillar between the windows for £60ish. I am thinking of using 3M Di-NOC sheet and covering up all the parts I want myself. My car is Iron grey / blue colour and I have been thinking about changing things on it for the past 2 months without really making look silly! Just got my spoiler delivered today, and I really think Carbon insert is the best option for that colour of car as long as it is done with taste. |

I'd love some Carbon Fibre mirror covers Would it worth asking if C4OC could get enough interest [theres hoping] guessing Streamilne Carbon would require a minimum order then they might make some sets of mirror covers, worth ago eh! I'll draft an email up in next few days MurerG - do you have a contact Jon |

The thing with the Di-Noc is that it is a more matt finish and it just doesn't look right when you spray it with topcoat of some kind. Where as proper carbon looks quite different. |

I know the carbon sheet wont have the same effect, but it just seems that I wont be able to get everything done the way I want with carbon parts as it is just impossible to find replacement parts. I d be interested to see if anyone ever used it to cover body parts like spoilers or splitters though. |

If all you want it the looks, why don't you just get some resin, gel coat and some carbon fibre material and skin them in real carbon yourself. What I am doing when I can find another wing mirror cover. |

Actually, after looking for a bit, I found a few tutorials, and it just doesnt seem that hard to do. I am gonna have a go at it. Fingers crossed, keep you posted on the progress!

I was all ready to do it. But the carbon I ordered was around 10cm too short to cover it all. So have to order more unfortunately. Which means material wise alone you are looking at £80 and about 3 days to wrap it. As it needs to cure some of the coats for 24 hours. |

Would you wrap the spoiler with one big massive piece of carbon or smaller bits? I am unsure at how to do it the well enough so you dont see any lining. It is quite a complicated piece to do. My plan is to do the mirror covers, the spoiler, the seat leon splitter. The spoiler being a very difficult piece to do though. Anyone ever attempted to do it? I have a piece of carbon cloth (5mx1m). Obviously I dont want to waste it as it did cost me a lot, would you be able to tell me what size a cloth you used? Greg |
