Then decided to have a go at the clock surround I thought it was.clipped together but it is glued so Im am going to reglue it back together once I've decided if i like it carbon. Opinions?

haha fair bit louder!! Id only recommend it you don't mind it quite deep and boomy at slow speeds. sounds great flat out and the pops and bangs are a lot more often and louder. when the roads are dry I'll get the go pro out :smile:
 
that looks awesome mate how did u get the clock hood off then if it was glued and did u have any issues glueing it back on. Also if u dont mind me asking mate were did u pick up the carbon wrap
 
The dash looks superb. Though I reckon with a few layers of laquer to mate it more glossy, it would look even better.
 
Cheers :smile:

The carbon wrap looks great, awesome job! Was it the first wrap job you've done?

Not the first my 3rd attempt lol this was my first:

Pushed it apart it felt like clips lol. Company called underground graphics it's the proper 3M stuff :smile: haven't glued it back yet haha.

That's a great idea I'll try that!!
 
Interested in taking my centre silencer out!! I have the same exhaust set up as you! Does it make the flat spot any worse?? Is it noticeably louder?? Too loud?
 
Hi i don't suppose any1 has any pics of this carbon wrap with lacquer on. I've also got my centre console wrapped in carbon, i keep seeing people talking about lacquering them but never seen a pic of it done.

thanks

Miltek is very good to start with especially with the de-cat! Didn't make it any worse but the car is cam'd and mapped :liambo: it is a lot louder the bangs after the beep are mentally loud getting on close to Clio cup car loud!!! Too loud for everyday really as boomy low down the revs okay at 50 or 70 though :smile:

Ya also interested in taking my middle box out to, was your's off the stanard exhaust? Wat size bore is it? Cheers

It's the centre box out of the miltek :wink:

Nice job with the wrapping....

Cheers 8)

With the decat it would pass the old mot emissions test but the new law is that the car had 2cats it must still have 2 cats :worried: video next week :smile:

love the wrapping and yellow dash strips, looks epic. Have you had the vent trims painted gloss black aswell?

Cheers :smile: the stripes were like that from Renault but yep I had my vents sprayed :wink:

Love the carbon wrapping.....has made me want to do it to mine now hehe
