While I'm sure it will look very good it is not the same thing as the "Carbon Leather" trim that was an option on the ///M.
 
im sure theres one of the lads on here who does something like carbon laminating as a business..... cant remember who it is off hand but hes got a black( i think ) roadster and fitted clear aftermarket headlights. carbonised pretty much his entire interior, and cracking job he did too!!
 
jdm brought this ebay lot to forum attention few days ago and someone made a valid point that it would reflect like a b@st@rd in a roadster.......
 
oh right must of missed that! I guess it'll be like the piano black! it'll also show up all the tiny marks etc! What to do..........

correct! thats who i was thinking of. Im sure he sent his stuff to the place where ca automotive gets their orders fulfilled by, i could be wrong but by end of the post he put up (and periodically updates) i noticed something about that being his line of work too.
 
I have a guy that does carbon covering from a forum I'm a mod on... if anything wants anything doing feel free to PM me and I'll get you a price.
 
A full interior would be interesting reckon there is possible potential for a group buy? as a few guys would like this if you could find out I would be interested personaly

to clarify you mean the three trim pieces I assume, not a full interior.

Seats would be a bit uncomfortable :poke:

:lol: yes sorry the 3 pieces :oops:
 
Ha! Thing is, we'd need a spare trim set to cover, or someone to remove theirs... I'll get a pic of the trim and ask his opinons though.

and theres the issue of your car being off the road whilst your waitng to get your trim back
 
think of the weight saving driving round with half the interior missing. No reason why you can't 8)
