It's a wrap!
 
Was a bit bored today but with the weather being nice I decided to have a play with some carbon wrap I had laying about in the garage. Stone chips are a nightmare and the centre of my bumper seems to be magnet for grit so I thought I'd give it a little protection.
First few attempts were pretty stressful but with the aid of the wife's hair dryer and the removal of the bumper in the end to make positioning eaiser I managed a fairly neat job.

After standing back and looking at it, I wouldn't mind the whole car either Matt black or carbon wrapped when she starts looking tired again.

Thanks chaps, like you say it's subtle. Won't be doing any more as it was blooming tricky lol. Would mind a carbon splitter now though, the little one that sits under the bumper.

Looks really professional. I wonder will it work on interior bits.

I did wonder stefen about vents and surrounds etc, but I'm not brave enough to start pulling my interior apart as its all original and mark free.

The wrap does mould around corners very well when warmed up though. I did a test piece on the corner of the radiator which has loads of curves and dips on it and it came out really well. The wife made me remove it! Lol
