Default Pointy seat cowl carbon wrap

Just done a bit of carbon wrap to my seat cowl, it needed spraying and my local spray shop wanted £50 to do it, so I've decided to carbon wrap it which cost me £5 plus a hr of my time!! what do people think, just ordered the rear hugger in carbon as well.

Looks good. Looks like you've done a great job of the vinyl wrapping. Get some pictures up once you've got the hugger on as well! 👍

Thanks, will post some pic's when it's all done, just ordered the carbon belly pan as well. I've gone Carbon Mad but then its much cheaper than a spray.

Looks excellent, really clean job. I've been wanting to do the same thing, how big of a sheet did you use to wrap all the pieces?

I ordered a 750 x 1000mm sheet and still have about 500mm left which will hopefully do my front hugger

Good stuff, looking forward to the pics. Guess I'll have to just order some and give it a go, only a fiver after all

Just have a go mate the going rate to have both panels done is around £40-50 so you have nothing to lose apart from a few hrs of your time and £5

Had a go at wrapping the side panels and the little ones in the dash that cover the sidelights. Also I accidentally didn't get the bubble free stuff so a few little creases here and there. But it was only a fiver and I have over half the roll left. I think I'll get some more practice out of this then buy the bubble free stuff.
