So late last night whilst searching the internet on things to do to spice up my GrandePunto i stumbled across this website:

http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/test-...-update-interiors-now-karlsson-leather-9.html

I was almost instantly tempted to get on eBay and buy some 3M carbon fibre wrap and sort my car out with a new colour scheme.

As you can see from the link he's wrapped his A,B & C door pillars as-well as his bonnet plastic panel housing & his aerial, personally I'm not sold so much on the aerial wrap but the rest looks rather tempting.
I've already 3M carbon fibre wrapped in between my two front grills so I'm thinking this would accompany it nicely as well considering my door pillar c on the passenger side has already started to come away.

Other bits of stickers / racing strips don't do it for me so i want something a bit different & I can't say I've seen this on anyone Else's GP ( and i literally find myself eye'ing up every single GP that i pass, it's like everyone and there mate has one since i bought mine)


So give me your honest opinions & pictures if you've done something similar or have another idea, positive or negative all comments are welcome. (y)
 
Just thought I'd just do my passenger door pillar C with some of the stuff i had left over from when i did in-between the front grills.

Just finished my Driver door pillar C so now they match at least, thought I'd show you all how it looked without the original wrapping on, and after I'd finished it.

I'm happy with how it looks so far will probably do the remaining pillars tomorrow.

Cadabena I think you might be right, i've not actually got round to wrapping any of the other door pillars but I'm thinking black gloss will be best, especially taking into account the windows will look like the flow effect which you mentioned :)
Regarding Carbon interior is there any guides for this? my main concern is being able to actually hide the cut by folding it behind the plastic somehow, can the dash just pop off be wrapped and be replaced back?
If so do you know how to?
james44422 its a-lot easier than you think cutting it to size get some precision blades and it's like a hot knife through butter.
Reuuk i contacted SJB1985 but still waiting on a reply :)

I managed to get home early today and wrapped my aerial mount since i had a little bit left over & not enough to do all my door pillars which is the main reason why i've been putting it off for so long.

Also included a picture of my carbon fibre 3d wrapping inbetween my upper and lower grilles (behind the number plate)
I'm also very tempted to do this also:

Thanks for the replies & advice
