carbon fibre wrap
« on: 09 January 2011, 16:50 »
I'd like to spruce up the stereo surround, cup holder, ashtray etc on the centre console of my mk4. I was thinking of getting some of this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3m-Carbon-Fibre-Wrap-vinyl-200mm-x-300mm-/180590506242?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a0c087102#ht_500wt_715

Do you think it will work? Has anyone used it before?

Thanks

Toby

Worked for me on my grill:cool:

Just remember to heat it up first,it is easier to work with when heated,becomes more flexi.
A hairdryer should do the job :nerd:

Found it - here you go - no moaning about my sandals lol

Tool around 3 hours - removing the center console was the worst part!

Film looks BLACK and feels like real CF - it comes across as blue in some photos but is BLACK.

Looks great and gives tha car an unexpected "lift" - I'm impressed.

i did the radio surround on my mk4, got some a4 pieces of 3m dynoc off ebay for a few quid.
 really easy to apply, with bit of heat to stretch round the corners.

Yes, but buy extra incase you muck it up. I don't think an A4 sheet is enough for one mirror, maybe an A5 for each one?
