i am seriously thinking about wrapping my hard top but only if it can be done in 1 piece with no joins...

I think he still has his CF-wrapped NC. What a car.

and is selling wraps on eBay classified ads too:

Since he's a MX5 owner he may know whether a MX5 hardtop wrap is worth doing.

3M 1080 Carbon Fibre Vinyl Wrap is 1.5m wide. It is the widest on the market.

So....as long as either the length or width dimension of the hardtop is under 1.4m in measurement, wrapping the hardtop in one piece should be possible.

Please remember, you will need at least 5cm of excess on each edge for handling and edge-tucking.

Another idea is to wrap in satin black, matte black or gloss black. In most cases, cheaper vinyls to source but look almost as awesome.
