Nice nismo.

Just off topic slightly, how did you remove the ash tray surround section to wrap it?

My son really wants me to do this! smile
Need to look out for a spare centre console and then give it a go.
I see the clock has a chrome ring, was this standard on LE models?

thinking of doing this to a dash on my mini, how much stretch is there on this?

im guessing that on the centre console, where the radio fits you used a couple of pieces and kept the join as neat as possible?

any chance of some close ups of that area?

also any recommendations on a source for the wrap?

if you use a hairdryer then you can mould the wrap easerly but you just have to take your time with it and not rush otherwise you end up with loads of little bubbles under the wrap , and of the wraps off ebay are ok just depends on how much you want to spend .

i did it after i had wrapped the front , its not bad but just take your time with it to get rid of any bubbles and it shouldn't take to long . i would have ago on something just to see how to do it and go from there .

Looks nice mate. There's some really nice blue c/f from a firm in the states that's got a glossy finish, not sure if its as flexible as the di-noc type vinyl though so might be better for flat surfaces?

http://www.decalfx.com/3d_carbon_fiber_blue_sheets.html

I did a few c/f bits on the last Saab and knocked up a few dash kits for some guys. Took ages but they looked pretty nice installed:
http://uksaabs.co.uk/UKS/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=71223&hilit=+Carbon+fibre

Also tried out a few different ones on ebay, got stung with a pretty large order as the stuff just bubbled and ended up in the bin or given to a mate for his track car project!
http://uksaabs.co.uk/UKS/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=74587&hilit=+Carbon+fibre

I've done my current dash with some dark metallic grey di-noc, but needs re-doing as its peeled in the center rolleyes
