I've been doing an interior carbon fiber wrap for a friend of mine's e60 M5. He had woodgrain interior trim initially. He wanted carbon fiber, so I've wrapped the front trim, LCU trim, front door pulls, centre console and ashtray cover.... He wants a matte finish, so this is the last time these parts will be so shiney.

What's left to do is wet sand with 800, 1500 and 2000 grit to get the matte finish.

Here they are so far (clear coated, but not sanded):











He should be pickiing up next weekend as he's away this week...... I'll ask him to take installed pictures....
