Do you want actual carbon fibre, or a looky likey vinyl? 3M Di-Noc is a looky likey vinyl.

What a strange post, if you have nothing useful to add, why bother?

I love the double standards of Pistonheads - if this had been a "What's the best carbon wrap to use for my Fiesta Zetec S" thread people would have been all over it like a rash.

My advice - don't tart up your elise with sticky carbon fibre, either real or fake - it'sll look rubbish either way and is only a step or two away from putting M badges on a 318i. Which bits look untidy out of interest.

Just wanted to cover up a couple of tatty areas instead of replacing the panel and like the idea of fiddling around for a weekend sticking it on. I guess I could go for a different finish instead of the chavvy carbon fibre. Have genuine carbon fibre bits on the porsche (from factory) which I like a lot though. Best thing is if I don't like it, can just rip it off and put it in the bin smile

My most sincere apologies. I was merely pointing out out the fact that, rather unusualy for a thread on PH, the OP asked a question, found an answer, then linked to it to help others before anyone had managed to reply.
I can assure you that I wouldn't have made such a comment had I known that you had sand in your vagina and would get all pissy about it.
Good day to you, Sir.

Two choices really, 3M Di-Noc or 3M Scotchprint Series 1080-CF12 (of which I have two rolls right next to me for much the same purpose).

The Di-Noc is more matte, the Series 1080 is like lacquered Carbon. So the former for interior I would have thought, depending on bling levels required smile

If you're thinking of doing this, then you can get samples of the different variations to see what they look like in the flesh: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3M-Di-Noc-Carbon-Fibre-V...

Trouble is, those voices in your head that provided all the explanation - We can't hear them...
