S3 Forge Twintake Review

<< < (4/6) > >>

KRL:
A couple of updated pics now with the engine cover in place.





Very pleased with the look.  Wondering if I should carbon wrap the white bits on the engine cover?  Am undecided at the moment.  Any photoshop wizards able to do it for me so I can see what it looks like?

Saint Steve:
You may have issues kristian, with the carbon wrap sticking to plastic. Quite simply, it doesnt :sad1:

....But isn't that lack of adhesion due to engine bay heat?

I hope carbon vinyl will stay on our plastic centre sections, Steve:



Back on topic: @KRL, I don't think that carbon vinyl will look good next to the real carbon of the Twintake cannisters. Also, not a good idea in the hot environment of the engine bay.

....Ah, it's the dimpley 'orange peel'-like texture it won't adhere to.. Got it  :happy2:

I still think that carbon vinyl won't last very long in the engine bay..  Or will cook itself on forever until Hell freezes over!
