for 12 quid you can buy a huge strip of vinyl and cut it yourself!

+1 .. the ebay 11.99 set looks very tacky around the heater controls.. best spray yours or get viny and wrap it  :wink:

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.
