Roof rails look sweet I've done mine to so they go with the roof when it's done , centre console looks good in black I put a 6n2 one in mine just a bit of cutting and it fitted sweet as a nut . Defo buy some more wrap to do my dash bits with looks great bud . Got both my Stubbs wrapped to and there on the car now look the bomb against my storm grey paint work . Dave

The roof rails look great mate, is there any joins in the carbon wrap or is it all one piece?

Cheers yea There Are joins about half way down on each rail, not noticeable unless you know it's there I've joined the pattern up so you can't see it.

True :lol:

Washed it yesterday and decided as the sun was out today to polish it. Tbh its kinda like polishing a turd, although it doesnt scrub up too bad and looks ok (from a distance) minus the scruffy wheels peeling paint and rust :lol:

Yes James looks sweet as bud , them roof strips look sweet on bud better than when you show them when you did them , ivemtaken the carbon of mine now and sprayed them gloss black but my roof is still going full carbon wrap lol just think with the grey paint and carbon wrap needed something to break it up a bit so black it was . Motor looks great mate , really like that colour on the rims grows on me more every time I see it . Dave

Cheers dave. The wheels will be going in the next couple of months if all goes to plan. Just need the monies to sort the new ones out.

Yeah I understand about the carbon roofrails+roof+grey car, I reckon because it's white it'll look ok on my car haha. I was planning on doing them gloss black at first but changed my mind.

I also added a little grip mat in the dash surround for my wallet and stuff save scratching the centre console up lol

Like it mate . Tray looks sweet as . Mate I just got dye for my carpet to . Must be on the same wave length lol . I'm going black to just I have rubber 6n mats in mine for ease of cleaning lol . All so thinking about getting my dash flocked black to , what do you think ? Dave

Must be onthe same wavelength lol. I've thought about getting mine flocked in the past i does look good but I'm not sure now. Might just stick with a valver one, or have a go at spraying one.

Lol sounds a plan mate . I just like the look of the flocking mate , might have my pillars done to . There is a place in Nottingham that does it quite cheap , think £100 for the dash and turn it around in a week or less so might give them a shout when it back on the road lol .

Sounds good dude.

Nice and cheap and has a big impact . That's what I'm after . Dave

hi James just thought I would let you know I wrapped my roof today wow what a difference and what a job It took me 2and a half hours but well worth it and I've get my 6n2 roof strips on now as well . You done anything else yet mate ? . Just got a few more little bits to do ie wire my Stubbys up and sort my snapped manifold bolt out and it ready for early edition . Dave

Sounds good mate, how much did the wrap cost you to do the roof and what size did you buy to do it?

Also, what am I planning here??? 8-)

Kinda wary about the paint match though. I'm going to be using an off the shelf paint from hycote it's gonna be coming out of a can. Just worried about colour match tbh may not be exact but oh well, if not then it'll be sorted in the future.
