    Carbon Fibre Trim on a roll??? or not????

    What do you think of this??? Looks bloody brilliant to me. Remove your crappy wood look-a-like trim, cover it in Carbon Fibre (a- la BMW Sport) and plop it back.

    It even has the same texture! How good is that
    Thankyou, Goodnight....much love

    I've used this lot and their offering which seems remarkably similar. Depending on what you go for, it can be used for ultra hard wearing applications (I used it to cover over rusted areas around the rear arches on an V40 and an S40 and it withstood all the crap and muck that got thrown up during our nightmare winter... I can recommend it!

    Nah, thats WAY to messy. The 3M stuff should look really good as its dead plyable and you can heat it and stretch it tight AND if it DOES look ****e, just peel it back off and remove the glue residue simples!

    Erm, if you check this stuff out, it is 3M adhesive that they use, so no difference as far as that goes. And from experience, it does work and is easy to use!

    Instruments look either like an older Volvo, or an older Ford - Sierra or Escort possibly?!
