Wet carbon fiber roof wrap

I recently got the roof of my MG M235 wrapped in new wet carbon fiber material. Looks very close to the cf roof that comes on the m3/4

If for whatever reason that vendor falls through I got my roof wrapped at modish wraps here in Houston for $150 and it turned out great!

The carbon roof looks great by the way! We should do a meet up here in Houston soon with all the f22s

When you say “wet carbon fibre”, do you mean it’s just a glossy 3m print? Or is it actual CF?

It's a 3M wrap called wet carbon fiber it's pretty new to the market most cf wraps you see don't match the weave of the real thing

Ahhh, yeah. Cool. It’s called ‘contact’ in Australia.

I wrap my daughters school books in it at the start of the year.

I just do not understand the point. With lighter exterior paint, it may offer contrast; but, in my opinion, I do not get what this offers.

Yeah with lighter exterior it would be better, but still look good like that, plus in offers paint protection for the roof
It's the same with black grills, carbon fiber mirror caps.....they don't stand out that much with dark color cars

Nice look, subtle but still a fairly extreme mod (and surprisingly affordable - I was expecting it would run double that).

I think this would look good on any color, but I really like the subtlety it has on the Mineral Gray. I'm going to have to do this on my MG.

Thanks, OP, for sharing this.
