Wrapping trim with carbon, help please!

[dantheman6554]

Hi all, new to the site so first things first hello great site ! love reading the projects and looking at all your cars,  just bought myself a 51 plate gti 1.8t,  looking to wrap the wooden trims on the door and around the stereo in carbon as the silver trims are far too expensive for my liking, just wondering if anyone had done this, what they used, how you did it!  all help  (ebay links etc)  would be much appreciated! 

Thanks

yeah i pmd him a while ago asking about were he got his carbon wrap from and if hes willing to sell some ect. he never got back to me.

as for carbon wrapping you want 3m carbon wrap thats the best stuff, for the ally look  of the r32 trim im not sure.
