Looks great :cool: I love a bit of CF

Just an observation but wouldnt it have been better to have done the sides the same direction as the middle? Just me?

took a couple of hours, did it last week, bought the stuff off of ebay (link below)

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250591624398&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_883wt_1167 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250591624398&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_883wt_1167)

cost me £7.50, the guy does a best offer thingy lol, offer 3.50 u'll get it + £4.00 P&P

yea, realized some things that i could have done differently, but i think it also depends on what way the light hits it :)

also the key fob sticker was a cheeky little idea, i think it finishes it off, it was either the VW badge or the old sytle GTI in red that you get for your boot lid, only problem with that was that the cup holder lid wouldn't open properly due to there not being enough space between the lid and the dash above.

cheers guys, must say the 3m di-noc carbon stuff i used was awesome, so easy to use and looks great :D

before putting the vinyl on, it recommends it on any curvy bits, but is another 10 quid on top of the material

Na didn't use any of tht stuff haha. I would do a guide, but a bit late :( sorry guys. If u need and help I'll gladly assist. And the ashtray was the last bit I did, if u do the simple bits first you'll get used to how to do it and the ash tray will be easy, u'll need a hair drier too, or a heat gun. This is essential as it allows you to shape it much easier :)
