How much do u need to get to wrap all the wood trim?

 

46in x 36in enough?

 

I used Foliatec Brushed Aluminium vinyl and 3M DI-NOC carbon fiber vinyl.







Few pics more here: https://5series.net/forums/topic/105...1#entry1253402



Foliatec:
+ very real looking
+ sticks very well
+ thinner than 3M --> easy to mount on highly curved parts
- thinner than 3M --> has to be careful to avoid bubbles (I installed it with a soapwater and worked great!)


3M:
+ looks great
+ thick and strong --> very easy to install without bubbles
- won't stick in very curvy areas

Antti, you said the 3M doesn't stick in very curvy area. What did u do to make it sticks?

 

I used an additive glue(3M 77) on some parts, but the vinyl still lifted up from the bottom of the most concave parts (inside door handles, they were too curvy).

Can someone post how to take all the trim pieces out? I have a 535i.

Antti, is that a small spec of dust I see over in the corner? Damn, your car is CLEAN!

 

Haha! You should see it now. Not clean at all!

Thank Antti! Do u have to disconnect the negative battery cable before u take the door panel off? Was it a PITA to disonnect that bolden cable from the door?
