Default Carbon wrap?

Any idea who I can get to do it + how much might it cost? Thinking of bonnet & bootlid.

Be interested to hear from anyone that's already had it done & whether it turned out OK or not.

Cheers, TX.

Buy it yourself and any signwriter/window tint place will do it for you.

We bought ours from Carbon Vinyl then fitted the bonnet ourselves no bother - it isnt hard just take your time. If you email them you get discount and we got a free fitting tool.

Would it last for a year or more without getting scruffy and be washable – so long as it doesn't get scraped etc. I reckon it could look pretty good. Would probably attract petty vandalism mind you.

Yeah nice, saw that on another thread I'm thinking that a wrap will be cheaper (& prob look better) than a respray?
