My DIY Carbon Fibre Trim
Hey guys, I just wanted to share what I did today. One of my friends had some leftover fake carbon fibre sticker sheet so we decided to put it on my 2006 w203. My (Dad's) C has the wood trim. All I did was took the head unit apart and put the fake CF sticker on. It took me around three hours and I took only 2 pictures during the whole process. I'm not good with these kind of stuff so when it was done, there were many air bubbles, but as an 19y.o., I'm pretty satisfied with my work.
Does anyone know how to remove these bubbles, even after I mounted all pieces back onto the car? Or does anyone have any tips how I can do it better next time? Thanks!!

You can use a razor blade and carefully make puncture the bubble, then use a credit card or drivers license to smooth it out. This works best for very small bubbles. Good job taking a chance 
You never know what you can do till you try.

Mmmmm. I think i woulda sold the wood trim and replaced it with CF.
Bubbles = cheese.
A small needle oughta do it, but never would done it in the 1st place.
That wood trim is expensive!
A c coupe trim kit woulda accomplished the same thing.
