S3 Forge Twintake Review
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.

Very Nice robin :congrats:. It will be fine on smooth surface mounting, but the engine cover (same as Rear lower bumper on a normal GTi, that stuff wont adhear to it. :happy2:

....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!
