I bought a 4mtr roll to do my roof but had it resprayed instead as the clearcoat was peeling so was unsure about applying it to a poor base. So now I'm looking for a use for it.
Started with the front lip, might do the door handles as the drivers side is peeling a bit. Can always pull it off if I dont like it.
Did the chrome ring around the gearshift.

Looks crash hot mate!

Really neat job, looks pro.

Got any pics of the gearshift surround, thinking of doing the same to mine (but manual instead of auto), might hit you up for 'spare' bit of carbon fibre.

I'll take a couple and post them up.
Pm me your address

that looks mint but don't over do it everywhere :P

was thinking about the toilet seat next haha

Looks great Chris

I was going to poo-hoo the idea, but then I saw the picture. Brilliant!

Toilet seat, yes, good idea - throw up a picture when finished. lol

That looks good I like that. What about around the fog lights ?

VERY HARD to do.

I have tried

entered thread expecting vomit looking wrapped front fender.

i was very wrong.

nice work, looks great c:

Cheers guys

well done mate looks good.

i was considering getting front spoiler painted black (as well as the little insert just below the mitsubishi symbol on the front).

may end up wrapping them instead and can always take the wrap off later down the track.

Heres the wrap on the chrome shift ring. I will do it again as you can see a bit of chrome showing through. You have to remember to cut slightly oversize and tuck overlap in with the supplied tool (or fingernail)

Just for those too lazy to click on the link..lol

I can never figure out how to do that. Thanks

Looks very good chrisv.

I reckon all the interior trims would look good covered in that stuff!

I bought some di-noc 3M months and months ago with the intention of doing this, but never got around to it, the lip looked pretty intimidating to get right. I'd love to hear any installation tips? For the gear selector surrounds too.
Did you do anything to the lip paint before you applied the wrap?
I've wrapped my double din fascia, I'm really happy with that in the interior. It can be addictive, wrapping things in carbon fibre!

I just wiped the front lip with metho before applying. Sticks like you know what!

Went on pretty easy provided you cut well oversize to allow for the curve and use heat gun.

Where do you buy that carbon fiber stuff (what is it called?) i have been looking to my gear shift surround in that :/ was yours hard to do?

Also front spoiler looks awesome!

Cheeers
ebay.

hey Chris, did you consider doing the insider of the gear selector surrond instead of the ring? if so why did you choose the chrome rather than the inside part? was it ease of application?

Just cos it looked easier to do as I was really just 'experimenting'. I am considering other internal stuff now I am more confident.
Cheeers

I might give it a go today!
anyone considered wrapping their wing mirrors?

Yeah I did but now I'll wait to see yours haha

Did mine today, doesn't look anywhere as near as good as yours Chris. I've got two prominent 'cracks' where i couldn't get the damn stuff straight, and one smoothed part where you can't see the texture of the faux-fibre because i blasted it with the heat gun trying to smooth it.
Ah well, it looks amazing from a distance of 3 metres plus, I'll leave it on unless i get too much sh*t from the peers

any pics

Maybe put some of the carbon wrap around the front edge of the tray just below the stereo too?

Looks good. Well done

How much did you pay for the clear coat respray and where from? I've noticed it's happening on my roof as well and I've got onto it early.

I like the idea of a carbon fibre toilet seat too.

$350 ish local guy to me in Gawler. Previously did my bonnet from a large stone dent and did a great job.

I'll PM if you want with contact details
Cheers

That would be good, thanks. :)

Funny, i was actually thinking about that yesterday, but that tray gets a lot of use, and i have a feeling that it wouldn't stay flush. Might give it a go regardless, i've got some wrapping left that isn't really big enough for anything else


Looks good. Well done

Cheers, it's much too flawed for my liking, I'll see if one day i get the motivation and attack it a-fresh. The colour looks great though, i'm quite happy with that

Hey Chrisv you should come over and do mine as well :) she looks great man.

Just a small tip for anyone that has troubles with fitting these vinyl wraps - a heatgun works wonders!

These wraps are flexible and become very malleable when they get hot, so it it with a heatgun and stretch it a bit. Looks tops when you do it right - especially around curves/edges/bends etc

Probably the only way to also wrap around the fog light surrounds.

Otherwise, these actually look really good. I'm not a fan at all, of the carbon fibre wrap craze that's doing the rounds now (love matt black or similar but not fake carbon) but the front actually looks great. I think the grille surround needs to also be done to compliment the front end.

Here's a vid on how to wrap a bonnet - it should really help with learning the tricks on how to wrap with vinyl.

My roof looks great even when dirty!

protip: Don't get frustrated at overlaps that look like cracks and point the heatgun directly at the spot in spiteful vain - it will get hot and melt the lovely textured surface

With nothing better to do I wrapped the front grille surround. I think it looks ok.

Looks great mate!
