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.

Or hidden under the bonnet......

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.

Best car i've ever had!!!

"Best car i've ever had!!!"



Most of us X owners think that too!  [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1]

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!
:blink: :blink: :blink:

After a couple of hours done this morning, I managed to complete only 1 of my 3 jobs planned!

B-Pillars & few other door areas Treated to a Carbon fibre Wrap treatment.

Does anyone know how(and with what) has this been painted?


Thank you.....and Thank you for all the patience with all my inane questions, the X5 is new to me.  :'(
