Carbon Roof PPF Install on a BMW i8 (Done the Right Way)

Old carbon wrap doesn’t last — carbon PPF is a better long-term solution. In this video, we remove a deteriorated printed carbon fibre wrap from a BMW i8 carbon roof and replace it with carbon Paint Protection Film (PPF) using a professional installation process. The BMW i8 already features a genuine carbon roof, so the goal here isn’t to imitate carbon — it’s to protect it properly. We walk through the full process, including prep, templating around the bonded shark fin aerial, accurately measuring and cutting expensive material, and installing carbon PPF for durability and longevity. In this video you’ll see: Why printed carbon wrap fails over time The difference between carbon wrap and carbon PPF How to template around a bonded shark fin aerial Measuring and cutting high-value PPF safely Wet-apply installation using slip solution Trimming, curing overnight, and final edge finishing We’re also now Gyeon-certified PPF installers and Gyeon-certified detailers, and this install uses Gyeon carbon PPF and solutions throughout.
