Ideas for wrapping - roof, rims or both?!

Subz_Civic · 9th July 2012, 01:52

Hi Civinfo dudes!

I need some tips and advice about what I should do with wrapping. I have recently started to wrap small parts on my car in carbon such as the entire back door handles and few bits and bobs in the interior. But I wanna wrap my roof now to a gloss black but then I am also contemplating matte black rims because I have a load of scuffs on them.

Would it be ideal to just wrap the roof gloss black and leave the alloys since I would prefer them in matte or should I do both. Would wrapping my 17" alloys be a waste of time ?? My car colour is cosmic grey...

Wrap the roof itll look great! but the wheels get them refurbed and painted/powdercoated . Wrap and high temperatures don't get on very well it'll bubble and split after a while with the heat from the brakes.

Agreed, I have wrapped my car's interior and exterior parts. Done previous cars 2 and am a bit of a dab hand at it now.

The alloys will be a waste of time and expense, wont last 5 mins. Would be impressed to see a neat job done thou

As others have said mate the roof would be good ive got my bonnet and roof done almost a year and a bit looks good.

Get the alloys refurb mate for the best results
