I bought a sheet of 3M carbon fibre wrap today, to be used for my steering wheel. After 3 attempts of doing this i gave up as cutting around the multi function steering wheel buttons was a nightmare! I has a lot of cut off peices when i was doing this and just for fun i thought i'd carbon wrap my key. Here's what it looks like......
