Where to buy Carbon fibre interior for BMW 320d E90

doogler63 · 11-18-2014, 10:26 PM

Hello all, l have thinking about updating my interior trim from wood grain to a real carbon fibre interior, not just wrapping it in carbon fibre. Has anyone done this and if so were did you purchase it from?.Was the quality and fitment good and how much did it cost you?l have a 2009 BMW E90 320d sedan.

Thank you all in advance for your advise.

If you're talking about OEM insert replacement, I believe you're looking at over $1,000. Quality and fitment would be 100% as its OEM from BMW.

Wait! does 320d E90 have that option? I'd assume so.

^that's really cool! Never heard of such technology. Anyone in Sydney do that? Although it might seem a little susceptible to scratches. I suppose a few layers of clear over the top would help

im sure there should be a place in sydney that does it.
A couple places here in perth, quoted me 200 for front lip.
however in that case i might as well buy a real cf lip

also you can buy DIY on ebay. if you got the balls to do it.

I also wonder about durability? Same as vinyl?

I notice there are a lot of suppliers on ebay.

I just received a reply from HugasLTD who said the hydrographics is not easy.

These are the steps:

You need
Water tank (big enough to dip your item)
Primer (plastic, metal, aluminium)
Base coat (water-based automobile paint)
Varnish- lacquer (again automobile)
Hydrographics film
Hydrographics activator
And a lots of patience
(its not so easy as you can see on Youtube)

Sticky side down to water. Wait 90-120sec
Spray activator. Wait10-20sec
Dip your item 40 degrees corner
Wash your item
Wait till it drys
Spray top coat.

Water temperature 25-28C

If i had the tools and knowledge of this technique,
oh my god ill dip my house.

lemonpark · 11-19-2014, 09:05 PM

haha nah, paint in a different colour, I wanted white CF cos my interior is all black so I thoght black CF would just be a little TOO dark, got something planned, most probably won't like it though haha

If you're just looking to get rid of the wood grain, look up the high gloss black.

The previous owner put it in my car and it looks neat.

In comparison, the large dash piece is $480 in carbon, but only $88 in gloss black.

Hmm that water transfer printing is very interesting, I might give it a go and dip my silver interior trim with a full gloss carbon finish if the price is right! Any ideas on how much it will cost in Sydney?

Socket · 11-20-2014, 06:06 AM

why go carbon fibre, when you can go velvet or these ....
