Would look pretty good IMO.

That CF look vinyl isnt too expensive, shouldnt cost too much to do the bonnet. Then you can do small bits like handles, mirrors, spoiler etc.

you read my mind mate. looking at a few places, only problem is that on a limited budget things like that start to get expensive.

plus dont know how easy it would be for them just to do the yellow parts on wheels.

am awaiting two prices from pitstop designs, essex for only yellow areas on wheels, and full wheels

update : as it stands, to have only the yellow areas carbon dipped £80 per wheel.
wheels completely dipped £100 per wheel
