Looks good! I've always been a fan of the carbon fibre look, but its really easy to make it look like crap. You did a good job! Do you have a link to the vinyl?

How durable is the vinyl wrap? I really can't tell the difference in the photos, it looks like actual carbon fiber.

cheers guys,its tricky to fit for sure,but with a hairdryer a sharp blade and patience all is good
and i found it on ebay, enter carbon fibre wrap ,but its not cheap mine was £24 for 1 metre squared!! but cheaper than carbon panels. there has to be a limit on the shapes to.....centre consol would probably the max to be honest,they say you can wrap car wing mirror bodies etc
a good fix for a reasonable price i think
