3M di-noc carbon film
« on: March 08, 2011, 08:49:57 PM »
Anyone know of any cheap sources of this stuff?

I've been waiting for 18months for it to become affordable but it just isn't :(

I need about 1m x 1m (maybe a bit more as it's to re do my front grill and front vanes)

Thanks

JJ

However, this company seems to be doing some random sizes (obviously offcuts) so may have to do some measuring as some of the vanes are only a few cm wide !

Small fiddly bits like you have done are acceptable....large areas/panels are 'chav'.

Nuff said ?   ...but then that is only my opinion....
If YOU like what you have had done (or done yourself) then that's all that matters.
