I hate the carbon plastic stuff, looks cheaper than standard plastic imo.
I think gloss black wrap or satin black wrap looks far better. Failing that carbon dipping is pretty cool

In members rides 'mk5 gee tea eye'

My interior was carbon dipped and came out alot better than i thought. I agree will big al that the cheap carbon looks c**p and leaving as it is will suit it better. Carbon needs to a have a depth to it.

Always nice to have a change. At the end of the day its your car you can do what you want to it,  somethings work for some and not for others. Go for whatever you feel will work :happy2:
