carbon wrap

[Jambo1990]

well had some carbon wrap and decided to try and wrap the engine cover not the best but ok for my first try i think going to get some more and do some other bits what do people think?

Looks, ok.

You realise engines get hot?
Wrap when it gets hot peels/comes off?

 

[adam172]

As above surely this will just go bubbly and peel off?

 

[ROB91]

looks good, but as said above wont it come off?

Wrong.

If badly applied it will yes, Ive got 3ms carbon dinoc on my motorbike exhaust and has lasted very well.

That above will come off, as it has been badly applied.

Not to my taste mate

 

[Jambo1990]

If it comes off then no big deal just had some left from when I did some bits on my last car and thought id see what it looked like

 

[Jambo1990]

Just drove to work and the wrap looked ok give it a few days and see how it goes

 

[Kieran..]

Wow thats gonna melt! Lol drive 100 miles and see after

 

[Will.]

I didn't think the inlets got hot as it's just air flowing through.

 

[Russ_16v]

It gets very hot in traffic due to being right on top of the engine, but once your going they cool down

 

[NATHAN182]

yeah mate you try touching them after a blast! ouch! :rasp:

 

[Kieran..]

Lol even if it lasts I gotta say that it doesn't even look carbon tbh

 

[Tigger]

Fair play for trying it out - looks grand

Now get the rest of the bay cleaned up
