Default 3M Carbon Fibre Dinoc wrapped seat backs

Just got sent these pics by ACAP Films who had wrapped my seat backs with 3M Carbon Fibre Dinoc film. Love how they turned out

Update...just spoke to the guys and they may be able to paint the great plastic black to blend it in better with the CF wrap.

I think the contrast looks good. That is a film wrap, not real carbon fiber just made to look like carbon fiber?

it will need to be very close match, otherwise will look awful, and much worse than being different

To be honest I dont mind the way they look now. I really love how the back of the seats look.

Well done wow.

Hello, lovely looking seats you have there! did they have to take the seats apart to wrap the seatback?

Yes, they had the seats out of the car and the seat backs off to do the wrapping. They believed that it was the only way to do the job properly.

Cheers for the reply. i had my seat back painted to match the carrera white exterior, now looking for a place to wrap them in clear films for protection, but I doubt there is such a place in the UK......any suggestion welcomed

Not a fan of CF look, but they did a superb job. How did they pain the airbag cover? Also I noticed a scratch on the right back side of the driver's seat. Hope it's just the pic.

They used an airbrush to paint the airbag cover. I have seen other pics and it isn't a scratch on the seat.

Looks awesome... very impressive work from that shop... lining up that pattern and getting the seams to be so clean is no easy task...
