   Hi,
   
   Im getting alot of work done on my car by a company..
   
   There offering me Carbon wrapping cheap as im getting so much done..
   
   Prices are so cheap i can't resist..
   
   I don't want to much doing as can look stupid..
   
   So far im thinking.
   
   Mirror caps
   Dial surround
   Maybe roof?
   
   What do you guys//girls think will look good and not OTT..

   I like the roof done, mirror caps are also another good choice.
   
   Dial surround would look good if the rest of the cars interior would be based around the carbon?
   
   Centre console?
   
   Much more on the outside would look tacky imo though...

   Mhmm well eventually when funds are was gonna get streamline carbon doorcards.
   
   Its basically going Track slag but looking tidy still..
   
   Getting custom carpet put in.
   
   Yeah maybe centre console.. Was gonna stickerbomb it maybe? As looks kinda funky. And be different in a track slag.
   
   Dials, mirrors are a 100% not sure about roof?
   
   Just get a roof skin?
   
   As roof//bonnet//tailgate be better fibreglass or carbon? As real weight lose.
   
   Wrapping stuff just for looks imo.

   I dont like bonnet being done.. Might aswell get real..
   
   As people will tap bonnet to see if real
   
   Also when lift it.. Looks gay! Fake carbon..
   
   But thats my own opinion. Good if can't afford real thing.. Like me at the moment.
