Look really good actually. A lot better than the dotted carbon look.

He did it himself.
Looks good, Ty. Like I said the other day, miles better than any other carbon dips I've seen and certainly better than 3M wrap stuff.
Thanks all.
Like Rhys said I done it myself, in the final stages of opening a hydrograpics shop.
Should be a trader on here in January. Things have just taken longer than expected.
We've just done the first set of wheels last week which came out really well too.

Might get you to do mine too. Can you do plain colours ie: Iceberg?
Whats the charge and time scale T-bone?

Looks great mate.
I've got a spare one of these in the shed, might get you to do one for me
No worries, just let us know and I'll sort you out.
You can do any colour you want, but the above carbon only really works well or dark colours like black.
Not found a really got combo for light carbon. Did this the other day for a customer. MX5 dials.
It takes upto 10 day normally, I'll PM you Mark as prices are not yet finished.

Tyler, I have a lot of my 200 interior in bits at the mo, was going to paint gloss black, but would much rather have this

I meant a plain colour with no effect, ie :iceberg.
Im im just curious as mine isn't mint and toying with the idea of getting a new one but this could be a alternate option. Not wanting it painted as it chips to easy and this car is having no carbon on.

Oh right, sorry yeah I can do but would need to order the paint and I just use standard colours for dipping.
No carbon? Really lol
Tyler. Just dropped you a pm with pictures of the bits I would like done, drop me a pm/text if you're up for it and with prices - Can drop the bits down to your unit any time really, no rush getting them done though, they've been off my car for 2 months
2 months haha. I've just replied buddy.
Yeah I'll be down. So yeah we'll chat

I was actually thinking of doing this myself. We've got a local hydrographics place and I just ordered a new engine cover as I'm tired of my blue one. Good to see what it looks like.

It's not for me as I don't really see the point in carbon fibre 'look' real deal or nothing!
But... it does look fantastic mate, probably the best I've seen, so I'm sure you'll get many happy customers! Good luck with the shop.

In that case, so is painting bits on your car, so everyone with different dash strips, calipers, alloys etc. it's to make it look nice. A few carbon fibre dash strips aren't to reduce weight realistically, they're to look good.
Dropped off a lot of my 200 interior an hour or so ago, hopefully pick them up in a week or so. Excited!
