Just get some made up. There must be loads of graphics people in the U.K. or maybe one of the wrap companies could do them for you? wink
Try a quick Google.

Just found this, seems the largest sheet is only a meter, but I think you could break a stripe into meter lenghts over the car between panels.
The longest piece would be the bonnet from front to first set of louvers. (Not sure what that measures without looking at my car)

I can get a set done for you but the I haven't found a carbon vinyl that looks close enough to real carbon. I have one that has a silver backing and is as good as I've seen but it's not black enough.

There is also a M3 version which looks awesome but is well dear and has the carbon texture to it so the car polish will make it white if you get some on it and it has a matt appearance.

We have done the same. Spent ages wondering what to do with the rear ali panel (didn't replace it in the rebuild for various reasons) in the end it was covered with Carbon Vinyl and looks pretty good - hide all the old bumps too.

Any pics of this , i want to do the same on my car on the rear panel and the flat panel under the bonnet.
I've powdercoated the vertical scuttle black so this will contrast

thanks

Annoyingly, the latest batch of pictures I have (on the "not enough pictures" thread) don't show the cockpit.

What vinyl did you go for in the end, or did you get real c/f?
