Carbon trimmed centre console

Featured Replies

A few hours well spent I think.

Pictures don't really do it justice, only an iPhone to take them with I'm afraid. Will try and get some better ones up when I can.

New image up.

Just a little annoyed I didn't check the weave alignment before I did the ashtray - wanted a consistent continuous look. Might have to re-visit that.

Looks great. Is this hard to do? Cost much?

Some one did this on the ST forums a while back. Looks very subtle.

Could do with vacing that floor :giggle:

Nice work on the CF :D

Yeah, could do with a vac, car definitely works for a living!

@foey - cheers. Takes a couple of times to get used to it not being aluminium colour but I'm happy wih it.

It can be done pretty cheap if you're brave, though I opted to buy replacement parts from the breakers in case it all went tits up. The carbon fibre isn't too bad, I bought the 600x1220 sheet from Carbon Vinyl but bought a bit much, there's plenty left over. It isn't too ificult, but be patient and take your time!

3m di-noc?

got a roll sat here to do mine, looks good though nice job!!!

Yeah that's the one.

Good luck with it - like I said, take plenty of time. I found the best thing to do was heat up small-ish sections at a time which makes it very workable. :thumbup:

cool, it looks good, funnily enough i have some real carbon fibre on the ashtray cover and the gear surround which has a lacquered finish and i think the di-noc actually looks better as the finish is matt.

Thanks for the tip!

The carbon fibre on the centre console looks good. Nice job. :thumbup::)

Andy, you've done a good job there.

Did you wrap the excess around the edges & underneath or did you cut the excess off at the edge?

Looks good dude. Done mine similar. Looks like the bland vents above could do with some! :)

And do the ashtray again following suit. Lol.

Looks good.

Now hoover the carpets! ;)

looks spot on that mate

Does anyone know how to remove the leather gaiter from the plastic surround? I had a look at mine today and it looks like a pig of a job.

Can someone help with how you go about removing these bits of trip, where the screws are and if you have to take out the stereo etc to do it.

no it all pulls off basically, be careful but pull it outwards and the stereo trim will come off.

the gatitor pulls out of the housing, again the housing pulls off carefully upwards.

wrap the edges over and under the item you are wrapping.

Cheers for the help. Think I will give it a bash this weekend.
