Looks the b*ll*x! Did you get any idea of cost's or how realistic it will be to get a good finish!
Would like to know outher peoples experiance befor shelling out!

you saw you saw it at the autosport show, did they have any examples there to see? how good were they.

I saw the alloy wheel they show on the site and it looked pretty good quality.

It was these 2 I saw and they both looked pretty good quality. I'll try and dig out the leaflet to see if there were any more prices.

Dave, I doubt it. They specialise in water-transfer-printing.

You could ring and ask though

A cheap home method is to paint, say your rear arches in black basecoat, stretch some netting (size of your choice - I have even used doilies) and paint in silver basecoat. remove the netting and clear over.
You can get some seriously good results. I have done several bike tanks like this and the come up stumming

Now I'm a bit worried I never got that far down the page What's the fascination with stuff looking like CF ? I might try the paint effect next Summer though. I've got some spare paint and an old onion bag kicking round.

As said by Clarkson himself:

"It looks grey and manly, like a washbag"

yeah may look good but does it look realistic up close, ive always wondered what it wuold be like to get a sheet of woven material (a plastic maybe) that looks like a woven sheet of carbon then use it with some glass fibre resin.
