Good Day to everyone,
This is my first post, so please be gentle.
I am considering Wrapping parts of my engine bay (2006 E53) and being a total newb with it all I was hoping there were people that have already travelled that road and willing to share their pictures/experience/knowledge.
Thank you all.

Hello and

Not heard of anyone on here (yet) wrapping bits under the bonnet but plenty who have done dash/interior parts

I'll most probably give it a go and if it works i'll post the results, if it goes South then........I guess it'll be swept under the rug! :-[

what exactly were you thinking of doing? heat under there I'm guessing will stress fracture over repeated cycles.

No one has done it for a reason, HEAT. secondly why make cosmetic changes to an area of a vehicle that no one will see?
Saw the pictures, on your other thread - love the colour. Looks nice

Still a newbie to it all, so just having ideas spinning around in my head.
My X5 says Thank you for the complement, I love the colour too.

PM me with your email address & I can return some pretty interior trim images of bits I've wrapped..
namely, all the Silver plastic... Steering wheel, door handles, dash & door strips etc...

The black carbon wrapping prevents sun glare too, in addition to looking good.

My E53 was a bad'un, but my X6 is much better

Trouble is I had to let the wife have it as I need a smaller runabout to commute and she takes little man to/from nursery. :cry1:

2 of 5 of the carbon fibre wrap is now in my possession so it'll be a busy few days ahead, along with the lights to be done, its gonna be fun,fun,fun!
