hi guys, i am looking to buy some A3 sized carbon fibre vinyl but it doesn't seem to be that cheap, i have had a look arround ebay and google, but was wondering if:

1) who can find it at the cheapest price?

2) any tips for applying onto plastic bike parts such as mudguards and headlight fairings.

thanks

No matter how much you pay for it it will not only be cheap it will look cheap.

Not only does it look cheap, but it also looks shit, and everyone will laugh at you.

It will definitely, definitely NOT get you laid.

Fake carbon fibre is lame, I actually prefer to get real carbon fibre painted, I'm not a massive fan of unpainted carbon fibre, but at least it has a reason.

there is some very good c/f sheets out there on ebay.
it looks far better than that sticky black plastic stuff, though a fair bit more expensive,
i'll post a link when i find it.................
dinoc, thats the stuff! https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/30x120cm-Genuine-3M-Di-Noc-Carbon-Fibre-Vinyl-Sheet-/330433638650?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4cef6130fa
though im sure i have seen it cheaper & in bigger lengths,
you could always order a sample & at 99p with no postage, its not much of a gamble.
cheers,
GAZ
