Carbon roof

[Pete.]

As everyone has been so kind and not slated my car or even shown any pics of it from Trax I thought that I should show this in a mini thread of its own.

Now to those who say it's crap, tough, it's my car and I did it because I thought it looked good. I am not putting these pictures hoping that someone will help me see the error of my ways amd make me change my mind. It's staying, although it can be removed if I ever come to sell the car and any potential buyer does not like it.

So what's the big secret.

As the title says it's my new carbon roof. Interesting to see so many people walk by look at it and say is that real, Then the fingers go out. Looks real and feels real.

I guess this pic gives it away.

Okay it's a wrap!!!!

Comments welcome.

Actually looks pretty good bud. Would look mint on a black 172/182 with a cf bonnet!

 

[Ali]

Should of left the spoiler and side bits..But other than that...Looks ok. 3m?

 

[samoose]

saw it as u left mate loved it

 

[The Duke]

Would look even better if it was on an old Metro :rasp:

 

[Austin-182]

looks mint mate!! id love to get my boot done in carbon, my mate had a gti with a carbon boot and bonnet and it looked mint

 

[Addz]

looks pretty good actually but spoiler would look better either fully done or not, looks a bit odd just half covered

 

[TOGUSA]

how long is it ment to with stand the weather? and also can it be waxed etc jsut like normal carbon? could you laquer it later if you wanted it shiny?, how much di it set you back?

 

[TimR26]

As I said I really like it. Your car is mint, probably the most underated on here, get more pics up

 

[aewajd]

love it mate! not sure about th spoiler but like you said, it's your car and you like it :clap:

 

[Jun]

Looks pretty decent, but I agree about the spoiler. Either fully done or not at all. Would like to see it from the front too.

 

[Curtis!]

Would love a bonnet in that kinda of dry carbon, looks similiar to a reventon kinda thing!

Very smart how you've done it on the spoiler IMO.

 

[Inferno]

I had a nose at this today, got to say I was impressed. Looked equally as good as the genuine M3 carbon roof I was looking at earlier in the day.

 

[Hutchie]

much carbon (exhaust splatter) on front bumper.... SORRY

 

[172Ben]

Do not like, but as you say, aslong as you like it thats all that matters. I just dont think it looks like carbon.

 

[Gorms]

Peejay can you PM me the details of where you got this done and how much please. Im only down the road from you and have been looking at getting this done for some time now. Think it will look good with GW

[Savi]

Like it, try to make it glossy if you can

 

[Steviant]

Shot from the right angle it looks mint.

 

[Slammed172]

would have wrapped the whole of the spoiler, so then it wouldnt look odd, but nice none the less

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

amazing mate really nice should go the whole way carbon the lot!

 

[Phil_hill]

any pics of the whole car? wanting to see if it fits in with everything else

 

[VeinAST]

Nicely done

 

[Pete.]

Thanks for the kind comments. It was not a home job but was done by Totally Dynamic who have a number of locations throughout the Country. I went to the one in Totton and received an excellent and professional job. If anyone would like the information I can pm them the details.

Couple more pics from today.

I believe that they can make it shiny by overlaying with a clear vinyl.

Simon, the franchise owner tried to wrap the whole of the spoiler but was unable to do it without making lots of cuts which would be visible. Hence the cut off where it was a natural line which was agreed before application. The roof is guaranteed for 3 years.

May possibly have a few other bits that I will see if he can do.

I would post a link but it would probably be removed for advertising.

loving it!..

 

[T. 12 E E D.]

That is awesome i need that done to myne

Where did you get it done matey???

 

[Christopher.]

likes it

 

[Sym0n]

I quite like that, although I wouldn't have it done myself. Have to admit I did stumble by your car in a hungover daze and just thought you'd had the roof sprayed matt black...

 

[-Leigh-]

I quite like it tbh, although I think leaving the spoiler alone would have made it look more authentic.

The furry dice on the other hand...

 

[Vish]

I like that mate, don't see what all the fuss is about really unless its just about the spoiler. I've been thinking of doing this to mine too. Might have to pm you for details soon if that's ok.

 

[Kerryclio]

I like it

 

[micp]

I like it!
How much did it set you back if you don't mind me asking dude?

+1
makes the car really stand out

The all in price was under £200 which was well under what Raccoon quoted me who were at Trax offering the roof service for £225 yesterday. When I went to them for a quote they said £300 + VAT. They only needed the car for a couple of hours as well.

Will answer pms soon.

 

[Cuppa]

I think this is pretty smart. Personally, I would have stopped before the spoiler.

 

[iimushroomzii]

Looks really good!

 

[Dash]

It's different to be different.

 

[Fletcher]

Looks good Peter

 

[MattT]

Looks good!
I'd consider something similar with mine - especially as there's a Totally Dynamic place right near me in Southport!
I'm not sure it'd look as good on a car that wasn't black/silver though.

 

[S23]

I really like that! Been waiting to see something like this, and it looks awesome! Proper nice mate,

 

[*Wilson*]

looks good :approve:
