I was thinking the opposite, due to the edges of the bottom pieces being light grey? I need some of that white carbon in life though!! looks amazing!! wish i had a black dash 
it makes the interior a lot lighter which looks a lot better
You've actually given me an idea there as my electric window button surrounds are starting to wear.... how did you get the door trim off? guessing door pieces to come off?

well that´s why: the lighter carbon where the lighter pieces are... But I can only judge from your picture, you have a better look at the situation over there...
Yeah, I mainly did it because the electric window buttons, steering wheels button and now also the radio area started peeling...
You don´t have to take the whole doortrim out! Just the part you want to cover.

No i meant how do you remove the wooden inlays that i have in my doors, do i have to remove the door cards or are they 'click out'

Your wooden inlays are aluminium carbon pattern in mine, but they came OEM, so I never took them off neither do I know how.... I did the radio part also today, I'll make some pics tomorrow, it's dark now...

I've been checking mine out the past couple of days, it defo needs dark down the middle.... my problem is now, i am going to wrap the door handles in black but obviosuly cant do the window switch trim the same, i need something to match the grey ideally... maybe a gloss grey wrap, could even try piano black, dunno if that would make it look too none oem though

Hey, here are some pics of how my interior ended up... I still want to change my gear knob, my old Mknob had its leather worn, so I have this one for the moment.. Doesnt match the rest of the car really... How are you getting on?
