Carbon fiber roof wrap

You can’t tell that it’s not real carbon fiber.

He may mean that obviously no matter how it looks a BMW with a sunroof would never have a carbon roof.

Did you use regular wrap or was it a PPF CF wrap?

It’s a regular wrap. What percentage of the general public knows that a BMW with a sunroof wouldn’t have a carbon fiber roof?

People are most likely to be familiar with CF but not with BMW particularities. Try again.

If you like the way it looks, great! But trying to convince a BMW forum that your CF wrap looks real is not gonna work out

I quite like a contrast roof on certain colours and it suits suits this, I don't think I'd go carbon wrap personally, maybe jet black but good for you for doing what you want

Not only does the sunroof give it away but the antenna does as well.

The wrap has zero depth, especially on an angle which is how almost everyone will see it. Looks as fake as it is.

As has been said, the people that don’t care about this stuff won’t care if it’s real or not, and people that know will know it’s fake.

Would have looked better with either a gloss black roof, or sticking with the original colour. Melbourne Red looks awesome, why cover it up with a lie?
