been busy the last two days, wrapped the centre section of my rear wing and fitted the new decat, and stainless system today. 'supercharged z'/ross, thanks for the zorst looks soooo much better and sounds sweet, annoying thing of the day tho is that my rear os tyre has one huge bulge on the inside, god damn potholes!!!!!

The spoiler looks brilliant, I thought about doing that to mine but thought it would be too hard to do.

Will be nothing compared to tinting a rear window 
l18mnb did you use just one sheet of the carbon fibre, Im thinking about doing one using real carbon fibre and replicating the xpower ones but its alot of hassle, might try this first!

yes i used one sheet of 600mm x 1200 mm, plenty todo the rear spoiler. its unbelieveable how much you can stretch it when you use the heat gun!! i looked into relpacing it with real carbon fibre but got told the mould alone would cost ?300 to make so thought id try the cheaper option, ive got two more bits coming so i can do the yellow parts of the mirrors then thats the lot no more carbon effect!!

It can be done but as you say is extremely hard to get right, the last one I saw was starting to delaminate from the centre of the wing due to temperature expansion differences
Nice as it is to have the real stuff, wrapping is probably the way to go unless you know how the stuff works
