yea its a stick on vinyl when heated can be pulled round corners and through holes etc.think i paid about £12 on ebay and got the 3M carbon effect stuff and managed to wrap front vw badge,cup holder front, heater control panel,centre console sides and front handles.it gets easier the more you do all u need is vinyl,a sharp blade i used a scalple,and ur missus hair dryer only needs a little heat.dont heat to much or pull to hard round corners etc or ull stretch the pattern.

I bought this stuff looked good in the pictures on eBay etc but when it arrived thought it looked absolutely rubbish when it arrived so never fitted it
