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.


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



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

Mine has been wrapped in gloss black .......... :wink:

Did it myself.

How hard was it Steve? Any tips...

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.
