true...but I'm an immigrant so I'm allowed lol wink

Also if you using vinyl on textured plastic it will not stay on it for long... have you trimmed on the casing or plotted the vinyl?

I firstly placed the vinyl and trimmed. Used that vinyl to create a template to cut the others and save time.

The red one was one of the first... knew I didn't really want the red anyways, so wasn't bothered.

Have left the black on and its staying put very well.

OP, where did you procure your vinyl wrap?

I'm thinking about applying a carbon effect wrap (yes, I know it's chavtastic) to the black plastic roll-bar cover on my MX-5.

Ebay of course... for best results get 3M stuff... Dinoc is the very best.

Still under consideration. I suspect they may demand my PH membership badge back though.

I've got loads of it but wherever you put it you look like a tool hehe

I can't help but think it'd be cooler still to really think where you wanted carbon fibre then get actual carbon fibre.

Costs a bit more but it's actually not sad to do it then hehe
