I was thinking about carbon fiber wrapping the roof and spoiler on my LE, but have never done anything like this before. I noticed though that wrapping doesn't seem to like being doing on curves, if you get my mean?
Is it possible to wrap the standard spoiler without putting too much strain on the wrap or having to make a join in the vinyl?

Also has anyone done this and has pics?

Yes it's possible,
Pretty sure nathanB wrapped his VXR spoiler In carbon

had a look through his progress thread, can't seem to find many pictures of it clearly. I was just wondering how it could be done, as surely there would be folds along the side.

With pleanty of heat shouldn't be to hard mate, am gettingine done on Saturday but would be easy enough to do your self I would imagine

You may have to take it off to mate that's why mine is going in to get done

I have sent in a quote to have the roof/spoiler done but they've not replied yet. Only reason I wanted to do it myself is so that the Vinyl that I use for the rest of the car (inside mainly, and maybe the grill) will match up exactly. I could probably do the roof myself. How much is your spoiler costing you to get wrapped if I may ask?

 

[DrumBoyMatt]

Yes, my spoiler is wrapped

 

[DrewMac]

Don't no exactly as am getting a few bits done mate, if your confident in taken the spoiler off etc you can wrap it no problem , where about are you mate?

I haven't looked in to how to take it off, presuming there are some screws or bolts that just release it? I could probably manage it with it still attached to the car though, it was mainly the fact that it's not a "flat" panel, so to speak, it's more of a 3D shape with more than one side. The wrap should arrive tomorrow so I'll have a bash at it I think, no big deal if it doesn't go as planned. And I'm in Kent.

 

[DrewMac]

If you heat it enough it will be fine mate, heat seems to be the key to wrapping funny shapes

 

[DrumBoyMatt]

It will be held on by 2 bolts & adhesive pads to the roof.

That looks really nice mate, did you get it done professionally? The bloke down at Auto-wrap.co.uk quoted me £350 for roof and spoiler... :|
