Post by: Johnny_tro on January 22, 2011, 12:22:49 am

from what I have seen 'wrapping' the trim/strips in CF. Anyone done anything different?

and does anyone have a pic of the centre surround (around the head unit fully wrapped in Carbon F?

Thinking CF of link the RNS...have is painted a glass black? what you guys think? think this would to tooooooo much black?

Cue RR pic whoring  :grin: :signLOL:

Funnily enough, I have one for sale! I bought it for my car, already wrapped in carbon 3m Di-Noc but realised later it was off a TDI, hence the middle knob was smaller and no heated seat section cut out! I'll post a pic if you're interested.  :happy2:

Since then, I wrapped that bit and the trim around the DSG myself but the job is not as good  :popcornsoda:

Black gloss wraps in mine. I also had the Edition 30 sticker made to match the oem lettering.

My wing mirror housings are resprayed Black gloss to go with the other black gloss theme's i have going on..

Excuse the poor pics from the iphone, but it looks better then the aluminuim standard look.

My car was one of the 1st to sport the carbon wraps on the RNS surround. Gloss black i have to say looks alot better then the carbon wrap did imo.

Steve do you have any more pics of the top bit where the vents are? Preferably close ups? I decided not to do this bit as I thought it might peel but seeing as you've had it for 6 months or so, I'm considering doing it now.  :smiley:

I consider myself to be a competent DIYer, I'm good at spraying and putting vinyl on.

How hard is it to wrap things and make it look proffesional?
