Bettley, it seems maybe the skill isn't there if you think it's not for wrapping .
I'd say theres some pretty big curves there?

what iam saying is , its not designed for it, dont get me wrong it will curve and will do that, but useing a proper wraping one would make results better

As many are stating its not for exterior use i thought i'd state i've had it for 6 months in the place that is probably subjected to weathering more than any other.

I saw an escort at the ace cafe with a carbon wrapped bonnet, it looked stupid with the underside of the bonnet still being painted and the vinyl didn't look that much like proper carbon fibre anyway, loads of people were laughing at it.
