Has anyone wrapped the trim around the stereo and Climate control console in black gloss vinyl?
Think it might just break up the slight dullness.
Thanks

There was a thread people posted all the different types of colours, effects they have done, I will try dig it out!

Not a massive fan of CF....think it looks a bit....Fast and Furious?!?!? Not a bad thing though not for me.

Think if you are going to get the centre done in any carbon effect then it has to be the real thing, can be done for about £100.
The carbon stick on stuff just looks cheap (mainly because it is a cheap version of real carbon :grin:)
I like the piano black gloss look that some have done, think that suits it against the black of the RNS units.
I am planning on getting mine done in alcantara.

Mine has been wrapped in gloss black .......... :wink:
Did it myself.

Agree 100% Al. Here is a pic of my custom carbon piece to give you an idea of how it looks.

Was I close on pricing? I was told about £200 for all my silver door trims.
And do love that dash, did you get a book with receipts when you bought the car? just that i'd love to know a price to get something like that done to mine.

Wrong thread?? Glossy black Wrap was the O.P?

Thin gauge wrap is easier to work with, just need a sharp craft knife, and the wife's hot hairdryer :grin:. Just take your time, and dont rush it john.

Was just showing the guys what a real carbon piece looked like installed as they were discussing it, sorry for going off topic.
Al I'm not sure I can say how much it cost on here as Broony doesn't advertise his prices.

I have some black gloss and also some matt black that you can have for £8 mate, more than enough to cover the vent and centre console?
Can measure it for you if you like to show exactly how much left.

This RNS installation guide should help with removing the trim.
