Thanks for the responses all. Food for thought and definitely got me thinking beyond just gloss black finish. 
Gloss black is also a pain to keep dust free and shows up any fine scratches, thinking of wrapping mine too,great thread

That’s a pretty subtle change. Would love to see the finished job.Z4C_er said:

No difficulties at all, there was a nice gap round the radio and vents, which now looks a lot neater.

So I have my dash and cental console wrapped in carbon vinyl.
I really like the look of it all etc but after about 6 months (on the big bits, I've done a few smaller bits since). It's starting to peel. I'm very reluctant to to do the whole thing again, but I might have to. Perhaps I need to spend more on the wrap! Didn't go for 3M stuff.
However at the suggestion of a fellow zeder I met today, how do you feel about leather! There's a lot of choices on this sellers ebay!
I might try it.

Has anyone tried the pre-made stitched leather covers (to be glued on) available of eBay?

*** Edited to say don’t worry, just searched and found a couple of threads on the matter.

Link to these threads please? Looking at doing it the same....

I like the real forged carbon fiber but that imitation wrap just doesn't look good. Just my opinion though.
I think forged carbon looks better on smaller pieces personally. I had a forged carbon set of Campagnolo crank arms and they looked great. On bigger pieces it looks a bit like camouflage to me.

Nice to see something different. It’s an interesting pattern. I was looking at the 3M-1080 textured vinyls the other night and they have one called Shadow Black which is similar, but perhaps more camo-ish. I quite like their Matrix finish, a sort of fine honeycomb finish (see below).
