When wrapping carbon, due to the pattern, it can look awful in places due to the stretchy nature of apply vinyl.

I am trying to suppress my chavness from my dads side so don't temp me! lol

This is a rough idea of what I would be aiming for, the front may not end up being symmetrical in that the red coming off the dipped light may be smaller, a large difference to emphasize it is deliberate. The silver flash and the side black bits will end up black carbon wrapped.

Before going down the vinyl route, consider the cost of repairing even a slight scrape. Vinyl even 12 months from now may not exactly match what is available now and firms doing it may no longer be in business, or moved on to the next trendy money making scheme and no longer do vinyl wrapping.
You will be better future proofed using paint.
