    Vinyl wrapping a rear spoiler

    I've got a genuine Nissan roof spoiler for the Stagea but its a champagne colour and the car is black. I havent got the money to get it sprayed so I'm thinking vinyl wrap. Maybe Carbon fibre look or something bright and funky.
    Anyone point me anywhere local and reasonable or anyone local who can do it?
    Don't know anything about this or costs or how to do it.
    Help please

    Can you post a picture of it, if it's a fairly simple shape it won't be hard to wrap.

    use a hair dryer or a hot air gun on low, and take your time. Carbon look Vinyl is thicker than normal colour, so it takes a bit more work to get to shape

    Doesn't look like it would be hard, if you lived closer I'm pop over and do it for you.

    Gloss black or 3M DI-NOC Carbon? Ebay is good for both to be honest.

    Sorry to be a PITA Jem can you point me to some? I don't know if what i'm looking at is what you're recommending. What size? Do I need to physically measure the spoiler and go on that?

    Having seen a car wrapped in the 3M carbon, I would go with normal vinyl if I'm honest. It doesn't deal with corners too well from what I have seen

    for gloss you can by the 3M stuff, but it's not much better than the cheaper stuff such as this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2M-ROLL-OF...item337d53ce87

    For carbon effect this should be enough http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3M-DI-NOC-...item2ec2ef6f09

    It's personal taste of course, but I think anything other than gloss black would look odd, as everything else is black.
