thats my next job for the interior like the carbon fibre effect idea, did you ever get the carbon fibre stuff for your interior, if so where did you get it from?

igot it off ebay ,
it did look smart but igot anew interior the other day which came with Blackash trim on the door cards,
so ihad to rip off the carbon stuff, shame realy as it looked good,

if you cover the trim bits with carbon, lightly sand it first as theres a Laquer base over the top of the walnut trim which Re-acts with the stick on carbon stuff ,

It's not mine but it's the lowest spec avalable. I think it's 1.6 8v. It doesn't even have the wood trims on the glovebox :|
