CF wrap is 3M Di-Noc film. There are a variety of vendors who sell it in different sizes. If you do a search for Di-Noc you should come up with many M applications members have used it for

Hi Zerocks... Just stumbled on this and am about to undergo another of your mods (hopefully a little simpler for me!) any idea where I can obtain the light tape or equivalent in the uk? Have you seen it done in orange/red like the new m6?

They do have red, although I haven't seen it personally. It's pretty bright overall so I imagine if red is your choice you won't be disappointed. I do not know of any dealers/distributors in the UK. The one I used (East Coast US) were very helpful and honest. You may have to search distributors on the web.

In one of the posts above you will see the retailer that I used. They may be able to give you a start where to get it locally. Been a couple of years since I did mine. Still bright and kicking.
