Once you start you can't stop ...:eek:
Plus this is so verstile to use, you screw up with it just re-heat and cover.
 
3M Di-Noc is one great material, I did some parts in my B-class merc (because as it was oiginally, it was boring)

It's too easy to go bananas with this stuff if you're not careful.
After all How much is Too Much?

Just have to decide what bit of the motor need the Carbon Lovin'.
 
Few more bits added..

Decided the old rocker cover needed a spruce up->

Loving the rocker cover! :cool: I'd just sand the lettering to bring it back to silver, I actually like to very simple black/white theme you've got going, without introducing another colour.

Or this.
 
Looking good man.

I think the 'Honda' lettering sanded down to metal/silver looks so professional :cool: looks great on the embossed calipers, and avoids a fiddily paint job on small lettering.

Is the grille not black anyway? Or are you referring to the C/W bit, that the Red 'H' holder fits on to?

Surprised you haven't gone for a smudge of carbon on the grille and mirror caps.
 
Should be a piece of **** if you can get the spoiler off the car. Clear lines to work to etc.

The carbon stuff is not designed for external use though, so keeping it looking good maybe difficult.

Do you think it could be like... Sealed? Covered in gloss laquer? I don't know if this would look ****, or work well. I think you'd want it to be shiny if it was external.

And yeah the spoiler is 3-part.

Yes that's the bit, would make the front end look like a facelift DC5...sort of, plus it would keep my Black & White theme going ;)

It would be easier to buy 3M exterior grade vinyl wrap, you can get this from ebay.
