That does look terrific! How did you deal with the 'notch' in the mirror? Any seams visible?

OK, extra pics taken today as the car was cleaned, but raining again, lol...

The quality looks OEM carbon fibre, having had CF mirrors on GT3’s, etc..

I’ll get some close-ups of the mirrors over the weekend

Looks great! What made you decide not to wrap the entire lower bump?

The inset “blades” were body colour to begin with and didn’t look great to me - think they look good now with the glossy carbon which nicely contrasts to the more matte black plastic bumper. Too much would be overkill in my mind.

Wow. This is really good

Thanks, I’m really impressed too - especially as the whole job was circa £650 inc VAT.

I am still contemplating having the roof panel done in CF and the chrome window surrounds done in black - but I really like as is. Although I will probably get it done to see how good it looks - can always take off again

Honestly, you've just sold me on wrapping mine with those pics! ?

I did notice you're rocking a Turbo and mine is a 4S, hence my original question. I think with my 4S, I'd have to wrap the entire lower bumper as they differ slightly.

Think I'll wrap my wing mirrors and lower bumper only. I did get the sports package, so might end up wrapping the rear wings at the lower back.

P.s. On the Porsche configurator, they only wrap the top half of the wing mirror in carbon, so what you have done looks right - see example

I don't suppose you know what carbon wrap they used on yours, so I can ask for the same?
Also, how long did the job take?

Have you thought about wrapping any of the interior?

I notice on the configurator you can do the doorsills, inner door panels and along side of the centre console

@terryb
Agree 100% on the body color blades, not a big fan of that
The CF looks perfect, they did an amazing job
The CF wrap itself is a custom printed CF design by the installer correct?
