Default X-type carbon fiber wrap ?

I have been looking for somebody that has wrapped their X-type with carbon fiber and have been successful. If somebody has used carbon fiber to wrap their (hood,Roof n trunk)car, I would really like to know the process that they used to do it. I like this look and want to wrap my car.some pics a plus

I wrapped my dash with 3M Di-Noc:




and as much as I like to ba$tardize my car and upset Jaguar factory design purists, I could never bring myself to either wrapping the outside in Di-noc or murdering out my car. It is too common these days.

Question

Is that red strip a test on the photo?

I think so; the edges and the consistency of the colour would suggest it.

I saw an X-Type for sale in Germany, it had no front grille and the bumper blades (the chrome ones) and window pillars were wrapped in carbon fibre. It also had black painted steel wheels. It sure looked like a beater, Mad Max -style. The slightly retro styling of this car doesn't really work with stuff like that unless you go far enough pro-racer overboard, and that's terribly difficult to pull off properly without a ricer look.

I agree, maybe a wrap might work on a modified version as this:





I wonder if the rear doors open?
