All is possible to wrap it all, if your thinking of CF for the mirror covers you can buy real ones instead obviously cost more but you can't beat the real thing.
Painting is more permanent but an option none the less...
I like my "bling" front spoiler as it is so wouldn't wrap that.

Its always hard to tell how it looks on pictures. Most of the times these kind of things look better on picts than in real life. On the close up's the wrap does not look smooth, neither does it look like it has a 3D effect.

I like the pianolack console, although it requires more care than the wood trim. That the pianoblack looks cheap is nonsense, but thats just my oppinion offcause.

By the way, i have seen the first centre consoles on (german)e-bay. Some as low €140 (about $150). http://www.ebay.de/itm/381346567823?...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Like you said, it's hard to tell from a pic ... So what your seeing is not what I'm seeing.It does look smooth when am sat in the car,regards the 3D affect it will never look like real CF to some degree after all it's viynl but is IMO look a lot better than the piano black scratch/dust magnet.since wrapping I've not once had to dust it down or be looking at finger prints or hair scratches so for me personally I'd rather have it wrapped even if it does have very minor imperfections fitted by a novice! Ha!
Cheers for your comments tho always good to hear views as requested, and for the link to the trim, if I could find that it in the CF I'd be very tempted to purchase.
Nothing beats the real thing after all !

Hi all just a quick post regards I said I would be doing the wrap again which I have today, wrapped in 3M silver carbon fibre.
I've taken pics this time around as I dismantled everything for those who wanted a guide if that's the case still and people want a guide soon as I get chance I will post up one with pics...
For now here's the updated trim ..I have to say prefer the light silver way more than the black CF.

A guide would be really useful please, I'm going to look at doing this when my S205 eventually arrives, although mine is a manual so will be slightly different.

Guide posted just before

Wow thats looks cool,. Over here (NL) the silver carbon trim is a new option. I like it very much. Even the pattern continuous on all the parts.

Bj71

Thanks !

What is that photo on the screen? How did you do this? lol

Bj71

It's just a song ripped of utube that's a video (only a photo shows tho in the video..)
So technically isn't a photo like you imagine

darwin329

are you also wrapping the side of the door?

Bj71

No I'm happy with them and like the contrast with the centre console.

hungasaurus

Can we get a diy on how to remove the center console? How long did it take you to remove? Thanks for doing this!

Bj71

Already have you friend...
