Small mod with carbon fiber vinyl

Shiny black plastic was scuffed, so...

Actually that looks quite smart and neat.

I like!

However, I think I would only go down this route if the same could be done to the other shiny black bits.
The main problem would be the cover over the centre console. Do you think it would be possible to cover that?

That's the only place that I have that shiny black piano look.

After further thought, yes I believe you could make the console cover work as well.

I'd definetly consider doing this if the centre console cover is do-able.
Would also like to cover all the ally look dash inserts etc, as I like the darker look and it would tie it all together. I was not willing to pay LR £200 for the privelidge of having the gloss black strata inserts.

Looks great, I had Carbon on my Focus RS and it can work with moderation......

Tim where did you get that at? I wanted to get something but similar to the wood on the dash instead of carbon fibre

I bought a piece from these guys:

I bought a piece large enough to make two (just in case). Wink

I bought the thickest the had available. Applied it in the afternoon sun around 85 degrees. Cleaned the area with alcohol swabs to prep and used xacto knife to carefully cut and outline. It wraps nicely up under the edge of finish the look.
I think the gear area is enough. Like Griff says "moderation" is best..
