Carbon Wrapping
The constraint of our current economic climate prevents me from purchasing the real deal, so I have decided to to take the cheaper approach by carbon
wrapping some parts, how hard can it be, has any one any tips, ideas and pics etc.
Thought I would start small and go from there, fancy a nice cam cover on my Blacktop first..... then may be I may end up with a nice dash and move
onto the bonnet.......

I would be worried about the heat & wrap not adhering properly on the cam cover but would love to see the results as I think it would look cool.

The DiNoc stuff is surprisingly heat-resistant - I had some bits unstick and rest against the exhaust primaries with almost no damage.

the wrap may be heat resistant but how heat resistant is the adhesive
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

I`ve wrapped a complete Westfield V8 in carbon wrap this summer, it`s good stuff. You need to apply heat to make it bend around curves etc and with
heat the stuff goes stretchy like chewing gum! I`m not sure though it will cope with direct engine heat being constantly heated & cooled?

Sorry for my late response my first born boy arrived this week!! :-)
I bought the wrap on ebay it was £40 for a very generous amount. I will try and dig out the purchase history from my ebay account.
(Thanks for the comments on my car)

Sorry lads checked ebay and cant remember who the supplier was but I can tell you it is the Di Noc stuff and that I paid £40 for about 3 square
metres. Any other questions let me know.

I'm building up to wrapping some bits on my car, but regarding the cam cover this looks much better....
