My new RS with plastics carbon wrap

[norwichrs]

Liking the tinted lights and bonnet vents. Where did you get them from? I am tempted to get some but not sure whether to colour match or not

[Choker28]

MK2 vents of ebay £12 and fitted for £50 nice lirttle touch for £62

@norwichrs-                                                                                                                                           Nice touch.Any issues arisen since?                                                                                               Did the Bodycentre eventually manage to wrap the front concave fog surrounds?

Love the look. I wonder what the roof would look like wrapped in carbon film as an alternative to the edition’s Matt black roof.

I’m also interested in how it has performed over long-term. Does it scratch easily? Any discolouration? Peeling etc? Personally, I’d be tempted to ceramic coat over the film.

Love that look too. Sounds like good value for the fit and finish achieved.

Just an update – the wrap is doing really well…no issues such as peeling. Not done the fog surrounds as been told it wont work. No scratches but then again haven’t bumped into anything (touch wood!)

I do like the carbon finish…

bda – what do you think with the white?

[norwichrs]

Update – its been roughly 1.5 years since the wrap – no issues such as rips etc – however, the colour of the wrap has slightly faded. I think this is normal though as they last about 3 years?

@jonyscam, sorry for delay, just seen this !  and yes, i reckon would look coolio

No nothing.

No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.

No tackiness.

Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.

Innit?

Was this a normal carbon finish?  Not gloss matte etc

It was the Carbon Fibre 1080 series IIRC

Hi norwichrs , can you let me know if the carbon wrap they put on the the black roof strips is ok , did they treat it first or just apply it. I went to a company today and they said it needed to be painted first which I’m not sure about. Also on the front bottom splitter did they remove the textured surface or just cover it. Look forward to your reply and your car looks awesome ,steve
