I am thinking of having the arches wrapped in carbon fibre on my shark grey RCZ. I know others have either wrapped or plasti dipped them, but how do they hold up to the weather and washing? Any advice would be appreciated.

I know members who have had theirs wrapped that have reported no problems.

I would be straight back to them before it gets any worse, and they can say it’s something you’ve done to cause it.
If they had done the job properly it shouldn’t be lifting at the edges ever.

Already been in touch with therm this morning and they want me to drop the car off so that they can redo them on the car. Not happy as it took them a day and a half when I dropped the arches off.

This is what it looks like.

If spraying, how difficult is it given that the arches are anodised aluminium?

On my 2013 they were black plastic. Had a hard job doing wrap as didn't stick too well. Had to use extra glue. 😬
