I am looking at giving the carbon look a go, looks good so was wondering if anyone has any specific recommendations which one to use?
Thanks

Doesn't look like you will need a lot, so ebay is probably your best bet,
Dont know As for brands and types, i have no personal experience with carbon wrap,
but im sure somebody else will

ebay is good. Dont think a heat gun would be great as it would probably melt the stuff, and hair dryer is fine. Taking your time is the key i think, if you rush it and get creases or bubbles it will look s**t.
When you say light surrounds, do you mean as in, mask the lights but with carbon wrap?

The interior courtesy light, the creamy colour part, but I have got come crystals lying about I may give it a go! Is it best to buy a roll or a sheet would you say?
