Don't paint it mate wrap it

De-value it if you paint it fella

 

[B6lee]

not sure about the spoiler but the roof and mirrors could work.
insteadd of painting it, vinyl wrap is a safer option.

all the black parts on my car are gloss black vinyl except mirrors and door handles, i had spare ones so got the mirrors painted a semi gloss black and the handles are just black plastic from RS model

Not fussed bout the de value as such but won't paint look better sometimes wrap can look a bit shoddy? I can always paint it back if struggle to sell it on that's if I sell it.

Just won't it to stand out a bit. Or should I keep it standard?

 

[Billy MR]

If wrap is done properly it looks good as paint

Craig @ DD might be able to tell you a bit more

There's a place near me called blueprint not sure if they do wrap or just paint. The only thing bout wrap is if it gets chipped or something and peels? I know it's the roof so would b hard but just a little dilemma

 

[fq-craigus]

wrap it, at least you can take it off if you want at some point

 

[Dirtmatt]

Wrap as said, beat option as if you don't like it you can take it off..

If you have lots of patients and a free weekend you can do it yourself

 

[evomark1]

Wrap mate will look sweet if you get someone good to do job like
Pw pro really good at his job look him up on youtube

 

[And@fcm]

as said wrap it as painting a roof is a pain in the ass and will cost you a lot

Was quoted £350 for mirrors, spoiler and roof. Should I do all 3 or just do mirrors and roof? Want the plastics maybe doin or should I leave them?

 

[Richard evo x 360]

Apparently it's a ball ache to wrap the roof cause of the vortex I would hv to buy a new one cause if jw pro wrap it they break so need to buy a new one so they can wrap it straight off but there bout £200. What do people think to,just wrappin the mirrors and spoiler?

Don't wrap it. Someone on the MLR has done pretty much what you want done with wrap if you want to see how it would look (same colour car as you).

If I was you, I'd re-fit those parts with proper carbon parts. Just don't wrap it, wrap looks cr*p, and painting it is just gay.

 

[Richard evo x 360]

How much u lookin at then for mirrors and spoiler carbon style?

 

[Aidy]

Carbon Goodies - Sub Zero Carbon Products

Mirrors and spoiler aren't a huge deal, but the roof will defo cost you in parts, fitting, and if they break your windscreen fitting it add an extra £600. I think spoiler, mirrors and a carbon front splitter are enough, too much else starts to look naff.

 

[Richard evo x 360]

Understand what ya sayin bro. £400 just for wing mirrors Jesus the wrap looks cheap at £200 for mirrors and spoiler in carbon look

 

[Aidy]

Wrap looks sh*t (sorry to those that have it, but it does). Go to a meet and see wrap for yourself, it's naff (IMEO).

Mite hv to wait till April and my bday then for mirrors and spoiler. Just worried some idiot will break them off or something lol.

I'd rather someone try to break my parts off than laugh at them lol

Don't worry about people stealing your things, it's almost unheard of. I've heard of some spoiler rage, but in 10 years I haven't heard of people stealing wing mirrors or anything else.
