   I say naaaaaaay. It'll be blatantly obvious it's not real carbon.
   
   But then again, if you're doing it yourself it'll cost all of a few £. So it might be worth trying then you can always peel it straight back off it if looks shite.

    carbon wrap its the biggest pile of shit ever FACT. idea of carbon is to make things lighter, you adding weight to your orginal weight so whats the point there is no gain

    post up some pics i think it would look quite nice if done well ... i got a red saxo desire and all the bumpers and strips match the paitn so i think having the black would split the colours nicely ... as im going to go for the black/red colour scheme
