I have never been a fan of vinyl wraps until I saw these pictures!

agreed that does look good....not sure that in the flesh having the whole car done may possibly be too much... still think it would look better partly done...

I think a whole car carbon wrap would look a bit... um.. chav.
I've seen a exceptionally well wrapped carbon R8 and even on a supercar it just looked a little off.
I'll be honest and say I don't really like the current fashion of matt black/carbon looks.
my view is that carbon (on show) is best used sparingly here and there just to accentuate rather than dominate. A carbon grill would be excellent (although a complete bugger to wrap
.
The problem with the RS4 is that the styling is quite conservative (relatively speaking) and there are not many obvious pieces to cover. Most similar cars can look good with the sills or diffusers done but tricky with the RS4.
If the chrome trim wasn't such a bitch to get off that would be a nice starting point. Guess could be done "in-situ" but a little more paitence required.

Had my front grill surround, roof & front splitter/diffuser thingy done in carbon, I'll take some pics for you.

I have also considered this, but my worry is the whole finish, ive never seen one close up, but i would expect the edges are unappealing, especially around the grill/headlamps/door edges, does any of the car panels have to be removed ie bumpers to be fitted? and does it have any effect on the paintwork when its removed in a year or so? also what is it like to keep clean?
Anybody got one wrapped in west yorkshire i could look at? it would be much appreciated.
