I plan to get my interior trim wrapped but..

I am completely stuck on what look to go for? I currently have black leather interior, with OEM brushed aluminium trim, but due to several scratches and marks, I want to get it wrapped.

I plan to go to these guys, who are literally 5 minutes down the road

https://www.wraphq.com/

They even have an e92 example pic in their interior trim section (it's a stickerbomb-look).

From what I've read, it seems that they offer textured wraps too, so I'm thinking potentially to go for black leather? A darker shade than the faux-leather that's already in the car.

I've toyed with the idea of black brushed metal, gloss black, gloss carbon fibre, but I really cannot make a decision.

Anyone here had their's done? Got any pictures?

My biggest fear is that it'll look cheap, but hopefully not.

Also they're quoting £300 for me to drop my car off and get them to do all the dismantling/wrapping/re-fitting. Is that an okay price? They charge a lot less if I were to just hand over the trim, but I don't trust myself to dismantle it all without breaking stuff.

Any pictures/comments would be very helpful.

You can do it yourself and save £250-270. Very easy to take the trim off

As above. Wrapping is pretty easy and the material is very forgiving. That's alot of money you could save yourself

It seems that you guys have missed the real point of the thread. I can't decide which look to go for. Has anyone got some good examples in their cars?

I'd be interested to see what the leather effect looked like. I worry it could look a bit naff.

I'd be going gloss or matt black myself, possibly carbon, but again that can look cheap.

Is brushed aluminium trim something some people want in their cars? Maybe you could sell it and then buy something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2723286587...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I just recently thought of getting my brushed aluminium interior wrapped too due to lots of small marks. I have Grey leather interior and like you im not soo sure what to go for.

The carbon fibre look is growing on me. But apparently without gloss it can look a bit cheap. Carbon leather is meant to be very nice. I'm not too fond of gloss black. I've seen it in my friends car and looks a bit cheap to me. Also does anyone know if the centre console can be wrapped?
My interior - any ideas would be great.
