Did my Friends M3 interior today with the Carbon Fiber Fabric

Try the all new Starscream Carbon Wrapping service!

lulz

Today Ive been busy wrapping my friends interior trim on his E46 M3 and thought Id post some pics on how that turned out,

This seems to be a very up and coming popular interior mod amongst the BMW crowd, Mostly 3 Series owners,
Its a bit of a PITA, Not what I'd call easy but its not rocket science either,

Here is what I did,

First you start with your stock boring silver graphite parts,



Then you get your carbon sheets that they sell very cheap these days,
Its a carbon fiber fabric, and imitates the look of the BMW "Carbon Leather" trim I have in my M and can be optioned in most new BMW M cars,





You then cut what you need leaving ample room around the part, after all you have to wrap it clean over the part and secure it to the back,
Also pictured is the doctors style tools you need for the job, a really sharp pair of scissors and an exacto knife and 3M's Super #77 spray glue



Then spray the part, I used 2 coats as it gets a bit thick with any more



Then its time to lay the sheet and start pressing out all the air and getting it nice and flat,



Next comes the holes, Pretty much speaks for itself, Just cut close to the edge and keep rolling back applying glue to the rear





And then some finished pics and closeup of the weave,
