Carbon Dipping?

I'm new so please excuse my naivety!

I'm currently waiting for my Evoque to be delivered (should be next week). I've gone for a Pure with the tech pack and all the extras I want / could afford. I know it doesnt quite have the looks or the extras that the Dynamic has, but my plan is to get there slowly bit by bit, and probably blowing a load of money through Duckworths...

I was wondering if any of you guys had had any of the grills and vents etc carbon dipped? This would obviously be cheaper than buying carbon parts, but I haven't actually seen anything that's had it done up close so don't know if they look good or not?

Any advice would be much appreciated!!

Ironically when I went shopping State-Side I thought the Pure had a much more harmonious look than the Dynamic. MagneRide was only avail on the Dynamic, which I bought, so I began looking for ways to make my car look more like a Pure or Prestige. (It's mainly the black-out waist area with the metal that makes the car look less bulky). Dynamic has grown on me, but I still think the Pure is a cleaner design.

I prefer the look of the Dynamic personally, but sadly couldn't afford it! If you weren't across the pond i'd be happy to swap the bodywork with you....!

have a look at http://www.wickedcoatings.co.uk they were on Wheeler Dealers last week. the finish looks really good but like you I would want to see a sample close up before committing

PM me if you want some Pure parts for your car - I will shortly have a full set of side mouldings and front and rear bumpers for sale - in Orkney grey!

I've also been looking into hydro dipping, looking at carbon effect for side and tailgate trims. Found this site http://www.garnishdip.co.uk/Gallery_Land...voque.aspx which shows the pieces dipped and fitted.

Rang them this morning, guy was very helpful and said he would come back to me on Monday with a price.

Just need to figure out how to remove the rear tailgate trim now !?
