Well there has been a bit of lacquer missing from the centre console next to the gear stick for a while now and its really been annoying me.
£350 + vat for a new part from BMW was far too expensive to justify.
I recently bought a set of damaged trim cheaply and the plan was to have them wrapped in gloss carbon.
I went to a local vinyl place and they wanted £150 to wrap the 6 parts and they didnt have gloss carbon.
I decided as I had some textured carbon vinyl lying around I would just do it myself.
A few hours wrapping and a few hours swapping over and its done.
I think they have turned out great, the pics dont show it at its best as they were taken inside the garage.
It may be temporary until I figure out how to remove the rest of the lacquer without damaging the carbon etching underneath and get the originals relacquered.
What do you think?
