Interior Trim Wrapping
I have the Brushed Aluminium and I was thinking about wrapping it in either a 'piano black' type finish or a 'carbon fibre' effect, has anyone had a go at doing this?

Interior Trim Wrapping
I did my dads 330d in carbon and it looks amazing .....I've been meaning to do my own for ages but it's just getting my ass into gear.
As for piano black I would get them painted by a bodyshop or diy

Re: Interior Trim Wrapping
I have read a similar thread on this on GTR Owners Club. It seems to be a pretty simple and effective mod, I would personally go for the Carbon if I was to do it.
I'll try and dig the thread out for you.
