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
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

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.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

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.
