Wrapping tips

Double sided tape works wonders at keeping the folded over edges in place. Bloody £7 a roll at B&Q mind. Robbing gits.

You could even use double sided carpet tape if you want a really strong bond. About the same price and this stuff bonds carpets straight onto concrete floors. A bit of carbon wrap isn't going to stretch its limitations. :lol:

Oh the wonders of double sided carpet tape , stuck some of it a kids hair at school , he had to have a shaved head and oddly I was booted out for a couple of days !!!!

The punishment seamed harsh at the time but 3 days before I was put on report for making rubber Jonny zeppelins in our sex education class !!! Girls were sooooo squeamish then :)

As mentioned, the trick is not to stretch it if possible, that's normally what pulls corners and edges away, especially after exposure to heat and UV which will shrink vinyl a small amount over time. Not easy, but doable. I also used some of that carbon fibre skin stuff in the Evo , looked awesome after some lacquer and a good polish, but that's tricky stuff to work with aswell, and not cheap :o
