Choose the weave.
Get the fit right.
From mirror caps and cabin trim to spoilers, splitters and diffusers, create a carbon fibre upgrade that belongs on your car. We confirm the material, model compatibility and fitting work before you approve the quote.
Bring a reference photo or a part listing. We help you compare the right options before committing to a purchase.
The part, construction and vehicle determine the budget. These are broad guide ranges for the selected parts or customisation, not fixed supply-and-fit packages.
The written quote separates parts, preparation, fitting, finishing, any delivery charges and VAT, then confirms the total payable. Installation is not automatically included in these guide figures.
| Upgrade | Guide budget |
|---|---|
| Exterior carbon componentsSelected bonnet, spoiler or other exterior part | 5,000–15,000 |
| Interior carbon trimSelected dashboard, console or trim work | 2,000–8,000 |
| Engine-bay coversModel-specific cosmetic cover, not an engine upgrade | 3,000–10,000 |
| Small accents or carbon-look optionsMaterial, coverage and available product checked first | Individual quote |
| Fitting customer-supplied partsCompatibility and mounting assessment required | After part review |
| Damage or clear-coat restorationInspect the coating and the component underneath | After inspection |
These are not full-body-kit prices, and small accents should not be priced as complete panels. Send the car year, trim and exact parts wanted for a more useful estimate.
The pattern alone does not tell you how a part is made. Compare the construction as well as the photograph.
Carbon fibre reinforcement and resin form the component. Some products use carbon with other backing materials, so the quote should identify the actual construction, not just say “carbon”.
Best reason to choose it: the material, finish and suitability of a properly specified part. Any weight saving depends on what it replaces.
Ask about genuine carbonReal carbon can be bonded over an existing component, or a separate cover can sit over it. This adds a carbon surface while retaining the original part underneath.
Best reason to choose it: a coordinated visible weave on suitable trim. It adds material; it is not the same as replacing a part to reduce weight.
Discuss an overlayPatterned vinyl or a printed decorative finish reproduces the look. Carbon-look vinyl is a film, not a structural carbon-fibre panel. Confirm the product and availability for your chosen area.
Best reason to choose it: visual styling without buying a replacement composite part. Removal and durability depend on the product and surface.
Compare the carbon lookA useful material distinction: real carbon veneer and carbon-pattern wrap film are different products. These examples explain the difference, not the brands included in your quotation.
Start with the areas you want to change. Select several parts for a coordinated quote, then tell us your car, material preference and finish below.
A coordinated dashboard, centre console and door-trim set usually looks more deliberate than unrelated pieces with different weaves. Match the visible pattern, sheen and direction across neighbouring parts.
Replacement inserts and add-on covers need different checks. Extra thickness can interfere with buttons, lids, vents and trim joints. We assess the original finish, clips and clearances before recommending the method.
Airbag covers, deployment seams, steering controls and safety-critical seat components are not ordinary decorative panels. A styling request must not obstruct their operation. Send a photo of the exact trim rather than ordering by the car badge alone.
Bring reference photos, then compare a sample or the actual available part. A phone screen is useful for ideas, not a final finish approval.
Twill has a recognisable diagonal weave. Forged carbon commonly uses chopped fibre with a different visual pattern. Neither a diagonal print nor a forged-style pattern proves the construction beneath it.
Gloss emphasises depth and reflections; satin and matte give a quieter finish. Agree a matching sheen across the set. Tinted effects and special patterns depend on the chosen supplier and coating system.
These describe manufacturing approaches. “Dry carbon” is often used for prepreg components, but matte appearance is not proof of prepreg. Ask for the supplier specification rather than choosing by a marketing label.
Check the resin system, protective finish and supplier care requirements. The finished component is not automatically immune to heat, UV exposure or yellowing just because it contains carbon fibre.
Model year, facelift, body style and bumper package can change compatibility. An M Sport bumper is not automatically the same as an M bumper; the same principle applies across AMG, S line and other model variants.
Review model details, the supplier specification, mounting kit and condition of the existing panel. Identify any missing hardware before booking.
Check alignment, gaps, symmetry and clearances before final attachment or refinishing. Any drilling, trimming or irreversible change needs approval first.
Use the mounting method appropriate to the component. Adhesive, fasteners, surface preparation and curing requirements follow the part and product instructions.
Review security, moving parts, affected sensors and access to towing or lifting points. Confirm any follow-up checks and curing restrictions at handover.
Compare the installed result, not just the online part price. Send a listing before ordering so fitment concerns can be identified early.
Cloudy clear coat, fine surface marks and peeling finish need a different assessment from split fibres, delamination or a damaged mounting point. First establish which layer is affected and what the component does.
A suitable cosmetic part may be considered for coating restoration. Cracks or impact damage need a repairability decision based on the part, manufacturer guidance and specialist requirements. A new clear coat does not restore a broken laminate.
Send photos of the whole part, damage, edges and mounting areas. Describe the impact and any previous repair. We explain whether cosmetic work, replacement or specialist assessment is appropriate before agreeing the job.
Consider parking entrances and speed bumps when choosing a low front lip or side skirt. A decorative add-on does not increase crash protection, and an untested spoiler is not a guaranteed aerodynamic improvement.
Before major body changes, check the proposed modification with RTA and your insurer. RTA identifies vehicles with modified bodies for Technical Inspection Committee review. Fitment alone does not establish road approval.
RTA technical inspection requirementsFollow the finish supplier’s wash instructions, remove contamination gently and avoid abrasive treatment on matte surfaces. Have loose fittings, lifting edges and impact damage checked rather than covering them with polish or film.
The two-year warranty is for paintwork only. It does not automatically cover carbon parts, laminate damage, fitting, adhesive, vinyl or future impacts. Confirm any applicable coating cover and separate parts or installation terms in writing.
Combining styling work? Our car modification service covers wider enquiries. For a different overall body colour, compare the options on our car colour-change page.
BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Range Rover, Japanese performance cars and other models all need their own part checks. Tell us the year and trim, not just the make, and include any non-standard bumper or exhaust already fitted.
A straightforward in-stock accent can sometimes be fitted within a workshop day. A multi-part kit, custom finish, repair or special order takes longer. Parts arrival, trial fitting and adhesive curing are separate from the visible installation time.
Arrange the booking after the part review. Inspection charges, collection or delivery arrangements and any work by specialist suppliers are confirmed separately.
Tell us your vehicle, desired parts and preferred look. For supplied parts, add the product link or part number. Photograph the current front, rear or cabin area so we can compare the right version.
Your shortlist travels into the WhatsApp message. Attach reference photos there and send it when ready. We confirm availability, assessment and a booking with you.
Practical answers about materials, compatibility, fitting and care.
Our broad guide budgets are AED 5,000–15,000 for selected exterior components, AED 2,000–8,000 for interior trim work and AED 3,000–10,000 for model-specific engine-bay covers. They are not fixed supply-and-fit packages. Small accents, customer-supplied fitting and repairs are quoted individually. The written quotation confirms parts, fitting, finishing, VAT and the total.
No. Carbon-look vinyl is a decorative film. A genuine carbon composite contains carbon reinforcement and resin. A real-carbon skin or overlay adds carbon over an existing part. These can all provide a different appearance, but they are not equivalent constructions and should be identified separately in the quote.
Send the product link, part number, fitting instructions and photos before arranging installation. We assess the car version, mounting hardware and condition of the part. Acceptance and fitting charges depend on that review. A part that does not fit properly may need returning rather than forcing it into position.
A correctly engineered replacement can reduce weight compared with the part it replaces, but an overlay adds material. Aerodynamic performance depends on the tested design and installation, not the weave. Cosmetic carbon upgrades do not carry an automatic promise of more power, better braking or lower fuel use.
These terms usually refer to manufacturing approaches, with dry carbon commonly used for prepreg components and wet carbon for liquid-resin lay-up. They are not a simple gloss-versus-matte distinction. Confirm the actual supplier specification, construction and intended use of the component.
We assess the visible weave, direction, sheen and shape of the current pieces before proposing a match. Parts from different suppliers may not look identical. Send clear photos and compare a sample or the available component before approving a coordinated set.
It depends on the affected layer and the component. A suitable surface-coating problem may be considered for restoration. Broken fibres, delamination or damaged mountings require a separate repairability decision and may need replacement or specialist assessment. Clear coating alone does not repair a broken laminate.
A straightforward in-stock accent can sometimes be completed within a workshop day. A multi-part kit, custom finish or special-order item needs a longer plan. We separate sourcing time, trial fitting, final installation and curing before confirming the collection date.
Do not assume that a part is approved because it is available online or can be fitted. Check major body changes with RTA before committing and discuss them with your insurer. RTA’s technical inspection conditions identify vehicles with modified bodies for Technical Inspection Committee review.
The two-year warranty is for paintwork only. It is not a blanket warranty on carbon components, laminate damage, fitting, adhesive, vinyl or impact damage. The quote should identify any applicable finish cover and the separate parts and installation terms.
Choose the parts. Confirm the material. Agree the fit.
