Has anybody on here had a go at fitting the carbon vinyl to interior trim pieces? looks cheap enough on ebay thinking about getting it and trying to do the centre console in the 180 myself:confused:

it's easy enough. use a hea gun to shape around edges and curves, but try not to put to much heat at it or it will go hard along with the glue and won't stick right. you can get shiny carbon look aswell but you pay a bit extra. only reason i'd get the gloosy carbon vinyl is because you'd know it was vinyl with the other stuff

ya deco is spot on keep it stret but dont pull to hard around curves cos sometimes it snaps. some of the cheep stuf is a full c**t to aply but the 3m is fair handy to use in comparison.. make sure to get vinal wrap and not just vinal
