I really fancy putting some carbon wrap vinyl on my bonnet of my firedance gti. What do people think it will look like? I have had a go at having a play on photobucket but failed. So heres a pic of the car if someone wants to do the bonnet black for me that would be great to see what it will look like.

Personally I dont think it would suit, might look different when you see it though

Yeah I'm not such a fan of different coloured bonnets on 206's however I do like the two area above the headlights wrapped going to the windcreen

Cant find any pics anywhere of a firedance with a carbon bonnet. Could be a first, its £20 for the wrap so i might do it and if it looks poo i can allways take it off.

don't think it would look nice either, i think there is a reason you can't find a firedance with it
but as you said you can just take it off if you don't like it so worth ago?

I want to do the bonnet as its got a few deep chips and cant find a bonnet anywhere appart from ebay for £100 and that got scratches. Going to do the whole bonnet and put a pic up when its done. I do like the sides done tho.

Yeah black headlights with the strips look good. Or get orange morrettes with orange carbon fibre look wrap for a suttle mod

Carbon vinyl looks cheap and nasty on large parts.

I have brought 1m x .5m of 3m black carbon wrap going to have a play and see if i like the look and if it goes with the colour of the car. only cost me £5. and if it looks ok i will buy enough to do the bonnet. Quite fancy wrapping some other parts like wiper cover and front badge.
