Carbon fibre Skin

A

Ali

Car  V6, Trackhawk, GTS
How is this different to normaly Carbon Fibre....Prob a very daft question...

Reason i ask...I'm interested in getting the vee roof done...And after finding out the White Z4M is simply a carbon skin not a full carbon roof like the CSL i presume i'm now interested...

Who does it etc?
 
i'd assume its just a big piece of carbon sheet thats glued to the roof? possibly a bit more to it than that though... hasnt ant's new evo got one? he may know
 
As it's not going to be a genuine cf roof, would a cf style wrap not be better? Personally I think it would look s**t, I thought black details on Iliad would look great, but the pics I saw yesterday proved otherwise. If you're going to spend some on it, could you not get the joins on the rear 3/4 (where the original body meets the V6 kit) smoothed out? One of the few exterior details that grates on me.

I know the owner well and always thought it was full CF.
 
your rite. it's from the states. Was gossip on a forum. Only 800£! no bad eh!
 
I was looking at a place near cheltenham, but I've abandoned the full wrap for the moment. I've just emailed the carbonskin place above about getting the bonnet done.
 
Yep, a Ph1. Good thing is the bonnet is currently matt black, so any stone chips wouldn't show up.
 
What is the point of fake CF? Might as well go the whole hog and have a v8 badge put on and a huge airscoop that goes nowhere.
 
carbonskin will wrap a full clio (takes 3 days) in any colour matt or gloss for about £900. For a roof and boot it's about £300. A bonnet is around £250.
 
soooo the wrap, talk to me.

how is it applied, how is it taken off (do you need to take it back to them) and are there any negative aspects, like bubbling in heat etc?

It's basically sticky vinyl. Protects the paintwork, requires removal by professionals, but thats usually included in the purchase cost. Talking 800-1000 for a decent job (ie bumpers off etc if going for whole car).
 
I want the 182 doing, £900 isn't too bad really.
 
That carbon roof skin on the Z4M is p**n! AS is Ant1's Evo!

However, Back in the day, When I had the gold Clio, I wanted (For show) A Carbon skinned Roof and Bootlid, To match my bonnet (gold car, Carbon middle) which I thought would look good, And the quote was £1500, Which was jus ta skin of carbon over the stock parts and laquered. I couldnt afford it though

Forget who it was.
