At Albie's request (his fault not mine) here's some piccies of my Kawak Z street with it's new Carbon wrap - for those that don't know a "wrap" is a sticky sheet (coloured or in my case carbon weave) which, with the help of a heat gun is stuck on to the body panels of a bike (also very popular with car customising) changing it's appearance instantly. The wrap can be removed leaving no marks or sticky stuff (as long as you buy a quality wrap - mines a 3M Di-NOC one bought via Ebay) and often re-applied.

The rear section (not at all easy to do but done in 1 piece only)>>

Front of the tank (gave up with the whole tank as the angles were too complex and there was too much excess :banghead:)>>

The overall effect: rear section, both side panels, front of belly pan and front section of the tank, in some lights it looks matt black in others carbon - quite unique >>

For more info do a search via YouTube for "3M Di-NOC Carbon"
And in case you weren't completely dissinterested by now here's what the bike looked like before I "modified it" next to what she's like now >>>
