Has anyone carbon fibre vinyl wrapped their interior other than black or any other vinyl solid colours?

I see various colours on ebay and just wondered if anyone has deviated from the normal black? (I am not intending to wrap the interior in lime green lol)

Mines half way through being done silver carbon fibre! Ill get some photos tommorrow, he will be doing my last piece next week (the largest part around the gear stick)

That would be great if you can take some pics DannyB

I have tried 3M black CF which is good (just too expensive)/gloss black vinyl and fancied a change.

Maybe silver CF or brushed alluminium or deep red CF (again not sure how this would look)

Some good examples in this thread I started a couple of months back

I ended up doing mine gloss anthracite. These are the only photos I have at the moment. As you can see, I haven't done the centre section yet because I'm thinking of doing it carbon. I'm still not sure if I like the anthracite yet if I'm honest.

Im liking that anthracite thanks for the pics i will have a look at the link later on

Mine is silver carbon fibre and looks brilliant! Did it myself with some cheap stuff from http://justcarbon.co.uk/ but as long as you take your time and get the corners/edges right with the hair dryer, it can look really good!

Does anyone know how much material you would need to do a full set of e92 trims?.

Cheers,

Silver cabon fibre, sorry shite night pics on phone, will do more when its all complete!

[mistryn]

That silver CF does look good, thanks for the pics

What size do you need to purchase to wrap all the interior trim?

I bought 5ft x 2ft and it was just about enough so I'd say 6ft x 2ft minimum

[mistryn]

I think it will depend also if you go for CF and have the weave going all the same way

[Danny.B.]

I had to buy some more CF as to finish the car off my mate would have had to do the transmission tunnel going the other way! Which i didnt fancy to be honest!!

[Danny.B.]

i got 1270mm x 1000mm for my E90 and it was literally 10mm off being enough to do it all the same way round, so should be fine for a coupe!

Also just remembered i had a go at wrapping it myself before giving up and letting my mate do it so i wasted a bit so that dim should be enough for an E90 if no screw ups are made!

Black everytime for me.

[Alex.Devol]

i got a little tester pack with 10cm samples of 3m di-noc carbon & also some brushed aluminium texture vinyls in about 15 colours. Unfortunately in these de-bossed finish vinyls the only 2 that look any good in either texture are the matt black and silver IMO, even the gloss black looks quite poor.

[Sparky68]

gloss black looks so artificial. the matte 3M looks the business, we use that for our show cars [static ones]

Was actually considering matte black any links to reliable suppliers from those that have purchased?

I bought mine from www.metrorestyling.com

They're in the USA but it was still cheap. It cost me 34 delivered including a craft knife and a squeegee and arrived in 8 days.

[ng04ryl]

try www.vinylwrapdirect.co.uk
arrived within 2 days of payments. find out they were based in warrington, which is not too far from me

Yous may want to check these guys out. I had my diffuser dipped in carbon effect it came out really well. They dip the panel and then lacquer it so you have a nice shiny durable surface with no creases etc. http://www.3d-dip.co.uk/
