Hi everyone I'm interested in any of your thoughts on having the deck of the rear spoiler carbon wrapped will look the same as the after market one but a fraction of the cost?

lifespan of the product seemed too short for me when i looked. upto 5 years seemed to be a common figure for vertical application. horizontal usage was more around 3 years i think. 3M had a product sheet of their scotchprint/DiNoC stuff. fwiw, dinoc is internal use, scotchprint is designed for external use on cars.
I'm still considering hydro graphic application but it is more permanent that the stick on stuff and i'm not sure how the PCP/HP terms allow for things like this if you do have to return the car. vinyl can just be pulled off.

i haven't looked specifically at it, but i think i felt some screw holes under the rear wing when i last washed it, so you should be able to take the end caps off and just have the fin itself to work with. Should be a fair bit easier to wrap if you go the vinyl option.

true: http://blog.ocarbon.com/2010/05/real-ca ... iber-wrap/ < looks like he's comparing it to the Di-Noc vinyl.
aside from the fact i dont like the glosy real CF look, the detail in the real stuff is very noticeable.

it's also £1500 for the real deal rear wing.

I've done this. Firstly if your doing it yourself it takes aages and getting it to mold to the side fins is a bitch.

Now that said it does look quite good. However due to the speed you can do the wrap will always come off a little bit. So I was constantly re heating it to re apply.
And under the spoiler are some bolt cap things once off there ruined.

To be honest covering the mirror covers look better.
