Carbon Wrapping

[Dan Evans]

a carbon fiber front bumper is going to cost in excess of £3000, so im thinking of getting a bumper carbon wrapped instead, which will be alot cheaper, but still have the same look.

whats your thoughts on this???

Anyone know of a good place to get it done???

im on about proper carbon wrapping, with resin etc...

[Nayls]

with all the curves that aint gonna be easy or cheap!

good luck though

[Dan Evans]

cheaper than £3000 lol, its just an idea at the moment

only an insane or sentenced for life person would take on such an assignment. and every professional knows, that it's easier to make a mold and then make the part, than do an "overlay"

overlay is only used for cosmetic purposes on very small parts like door handles etc, which have mechanisms or parts inside that are impossible to copy.

3000 pounds is a bit much i would say for a bumper, unless you asked in a formula 1 team factory. A pro would ask about 500 for the mold max. , and i'd say 1000 for the part. Before you ask, no, i won't do it

cf wrapping is not to my taste.. folk orignaly bought cf for the weight reduction..

i think if your going to get it done make sure you know that who ever does it knows exactly what there doing..

as it will look complete fail and cheap if its not done right... its more to the owners personal taste but the idea of wrapping its not to my taste and not to the cars advantage unless its for looks only

The carbon fiber doors we make for the skyline are £2000 for a set off two,

No way in the world £3000 for a bumper. I've never seen a bumper is carbon fiber it would look odd but different

get it carbon wraped or buy that sticker stuff see how it goes good luck with it .

Dan if you want to hold fire, I'll get your a real carbon fibre Varis style bumper. Should be less than £700.

Dan I'm having the Varis mould made up real soon, once I've done a few of those then I can probably get the CF one done. Hoping it should be a good bit less than £700 to be fair, will speak to my fabricator and see what he says for you.
