Btw, folks, I wouldn't recommend using the vinyl anywhere in your engine bay - It gets mighty hot in there! At best it will lift off and at worst could catch fire!

Actually, Di-Noc is pretty heat resistant. They did some durability testing in the labs and left it at 65*C for a month with no deformation or discolouration. I'll check with the technical guys what it can withstand.


I just bought a load of the 3M Di-Noc vinyl and its highly recommended by the wrapping company near me  :happy2:

....Is Di-Noc the carbon vinyl which most folks commonly use?

I'd also be concerned about the adhesive keeping it stuck down when subjected to great heat.

Yep absolutely, all you have to do Mr.W is take the thingy off (which just involves melting/grinding two tabs off to release the cover) the hardest part is getting the badge off with messing it up (just go carefully)

Thanks ''no golf clubs'' and ''RR'', i was well chuffed considering its a fraction of the price of the REAL deal you have, (which apparently is no longer available from OSIR :sad1:)
