Thanks mate. I think it's made it look slightly more modern! Just ordered a cherry red hazard switch, LED number plate lights and a 1 metre square of 3m carbon wrap to play about with haha! Christmas time is a nightmare for delivery!! @Rippers

Ha ha I've got 1m x1m square to play with and already wrapped the crappy steel bit of my twintake and my inhaler  :jumping: :wink:

Little update today. Gave her a quick wash



Then cracked on with wrapping the centre console, wish my cherry hazard had arrived!






Doesn't look to bad for a first attempt! Love messing about with it haha.

That looks a great job bud, did you just cut round with a razor blade or something?

Haha I wondered what was going off then  :laugh:
It's not a bad job to be honest, just takes abit of time! For the vents bit it has a grove which I followed around with my nail so I could see where it was, which you can see on the second pic then cut following the line, the worst bit is where the little dials are to open/close the vents haha. For the other bits I just cut tight up to the edge following the plastic, should probably have taken more pics!! My dad has a set of craft knifes which were bang on mate deffo recommend them, or use a Stanley knife/blade
