Carbon Wrap

[VASS]

I have orderd Carbon wrap for the arches, comes Saturday.

It'll either look awesome, or horrible, I can remove it and return to silver arches, so for £ 50 its worth a try

pics to follow this weekend

Are you wrapping them yourself? Have a good look at the wrap. You might be able to wrap the foil when wet. In that case just apply water with some washing up liquid on to the arches and the sticky side of the wrap. After the wrap is in place, warm it up with a hair dryer. Not to hot, but hot enough to make the foil slightly flexible. This will also make sure there are no water pockets left behind. Good luck!

Only a 4 year life when used outside? You'd need to keep replacing it to keep it looking fresh.

id probably get bored and replace it before the 4 years anyway :lol:

I think there's more chance of it washing off then fading here in the UK. :lol: :lol:

 

[VASS]

well that was a waste of cash

the wrap while superb looking is very easily torn due to the breather channels underneath that allow the air to escape while fitting it.

I used a test peice to check I could remove it at a later date and pulling it off, it split into tiny 4mm diamonds, I had to peel each one off by hand,

Hate to think what I'd have had to go through to take it off the whole arch.

Scrapped that idea. my recommendation, ... dont!

the bad part of the carbon wrap is the mat finish..let's compare to the genuine SHINY carbon pieces by Peugeot...way better

 

[lionhart]

true lolli.it would be nice if peugeot would do the part at the back were the exhaust is in shiny carbon as well
