Carbon trim

I am just about to purchase a 9 piece carbon trim kit for my C32 from www.mp-design.com via their UK distributor. It works out at about £550 GBP. Does anybody have this kit in their car? I can only see pics and would appreciate any thoughts about the quality of this kit from anyone who has actually seen it.

Thanks

G

It's the top part of the center console, the plastic housing for the door handles, window controls, and light controls that I want to replace/cover up with CF.

OR at least something, because I'm not sure how black birdseye would look with CF.

Those pics above are my cf trims. I did not purchase them from MP-DESIGN. Those are custom made. I have never seen mp-design trims, don't assume the trims you're buying have the same quality as the pics.

Its damn beautiful. I am usually not a huge fan of CF, but it compliments the interior very nicely. Its too bad there isnt a better priced overlay solution. Unless I just have MTB, I cant justify shelling out $750 for CF.

it would have looked better if they had milled the switchholes out after doing the CF overlay and clear coating instead of pooring the clear coating on with the holes in place already...the clear coating is curved near the switchholes (very vissible in the panel with the window & trunkswitch)...

greetingz,

why? I ordered stuff from them before. I was going to get my parts coated so i got in contact with them. It was explained to me that they want that letter of agreement because you have to ship them your stuff.
