Jamesy Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Hi guys i've noticed a couple of do-luck front bumpers with a carbon bit in the small middle section. This would work well for what i want to do with mine so would be keen to hear where u can get this bit from? Or is it just a carbon film? If so where is that from? Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlT67 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I bought a piece off Suprajames on here, its actual carbon fiber weave with a 3m adhesive backing, looks the business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Cheers guys. So how far down do u stick it? Just wondering as the underside of the bumper sometimes rubs so wouldnt want to rip the film and have it hanging off! Do u just stick it on and stop ot before the front of the bumper or do u loop it underneath the front lip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Make sure you wrap it round and not just on the top. The bit that goes over the front, where it ends under the car put a healthy layer of paint over it and let it dry before you drive the car. Doing this you protect the end of the vinyl from lifting and taking it all off. Hope this helps matey John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
