anybody know what the size of the carbon wrap sheets are?

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

anyone seen it done?

PM Carbondeamon i think his name is

he is in the carbon wrapping business

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

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

i have a friend (aircraft engineer) who does real carbon overlays (not sticker)
if ur interested pm me and ill pass on his details

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.

Agreed on the solar effect. One should also be very mindful of stretch marks of the vinyl wrap.
