Well, not carbon, just wrapped. First attempt so a bit wobbly in places, but looks ok and has resisted the heat so far!

Looks good! What did you wrap it with, vinyl?

 

[nuttynick]

Yes it is, and it's the most carbon like wrap I've found. It's not spot on, and anyone with half a brain will soon realise it's wrapped. I was going to paint it black, as I don't think the silver looks right, but this is easy to reverse in a few minutes ;-)

I must say that looks nice Nutty, Much nicer than just painting it black

It will be interesting to see how long it's going to last though , with the heat I mean,

 

[nuttynick]

I'm out for a long ride later with a few mates, it's a pretty hot day so I guess I'll find out! So far it's been ok, I think the issue will be when you park up and it acts as a heat sink.

How was it Nutty if it didn't melt yesterday, it aint going to melt at all

 

[nuttynick]

It ended up being too hot to ride! Plus, I live in Kent, and due to a strike in France the M20 became a lorry park with the result of gridlocked roads everywhere :-(

Some times I envy you guys living so close to the chunnel , other times, well, I just don't

So, how's that vinyl wrap working out?

 

[nuttynick]

Perfect, no issues all summer, or even in traffic in the South of France last week!
