Hello,
I decided to try and update the interior and started Carbon Fibre Vinyl wrapping my wood interior after seeing the Carbon Fibre wrap thread...
Just to see how easy / good I could wrap it I have started off with the drivers side (See if the wife notices
lol). Im using a Carbon Fibre effect Vinyl sheet to wrap the parts so hopefully if it doesn't look good or i mess it up I can reverse it..
Anyway here's the first part I did this evening...
Original
Wrapped
It will take me a few days over the next few weeks to do the entire interior... so i will update the thread with more pictures once complete.
If anyone's got tips for wrapping vinyl feel free to add it to the thread... may help me or others

what's your experience on removing these pieces?
I've only removed the drivers side piece so far, I just took my time and tried to apply even pressure to try and prevent any damage. But at one point I just bit the bullet and increased the pressure to wiggle it free.
It is a bit daunting, considering how much you have spent on the car to start ripping bits out.. but so far it is just clips so my advise would be to take your time and you should be ok..
If I can I will try the passenger side tonight...

Next will be the Gear surround and ash tray..I guess the hard bits will be taking the door cards off, so I will leave that for the weekend (Hopefully when the weathers nice) I guess.
