A standard satin black wrap would look way better, the only way a carbon fibre look is cool is if it's actually carbon fibre. I'm guessing he spent all his money on the F40 and only had enough to do a fake carbon wrap and make that ugly little add on wing.

This.

Maybe he did it to protect the OEM paint, which is quite unique in how sparsely and unevenly its applied.

That said, if he wanted to keep the car in Concourse condition he wouldn't be driving it.

maybe he just sanded the paint off the carbon since half the time it is that thin you can see the carbon weave through it, or so they say.

Nah - he just polished it too many times

No. I'm not talking about the car

I reckon it looks fantastic. Wing extension and all.

When you have a car which is that fast, you can paint it/clad it with whatever the hell you want because at the end of the day if people knock you, simply ask them what exotic supercar they drive and would they like a race. Once they respond with silence and the slinking away, you can laugh and go on enjoying your carbon clad car. Of course there are a couple of people on here who could rise to the challenge, but they are in the vast minority.

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
