Wrapping First attempt

jayakrishnanv · 04-12-2015, 12:17 PM

Sunday afternoon tried this . For the first time the dash and I drive trims came fine but the door handle ones didn't 😦. Hope you all like it

DanDM · 04-12-2015, 12:47 PM

Yes the 3M 3D carbon vinyl wrap

deebee · 04-12-2015, 01:13 PM

Thanks for that. Keep meaning to do mine ever since saw the real stuff on an m3 but time is the issue

Plus having the confidence to start pulling things off !!!

Hoppy_70 · 04-12-2015, 01:48 PM

What did you have underneath? I have the textured metal finish (can't remember the name!) and would prefer the satin alloy finish. I take it the texture would show through?

Thank you its easy to take the trim off...but patience is the key for this. I have to admit i made the mistake of having the lines of dash in one direction and the idrive controller in the opposite.

Thank you i had brushed aluminium under the wrap...the textured finish is hexagon trim. We have it in our 420 shouldnt show out as they are not that protruding. Need to see

davybull · 04-13-2015, 04:36 PM

Damn, I've gone for the Anth wood finish, perhaps doubting that choice now!!
I like that.

Dave.

jayakrishnanv · 04-18-2015, 10:56 AM

Ok done the interior trim wrap for the other car too this time went for brushed aluminium in graphite. In real life looks better than the hexagon design don't know others will like

DanDM · 04-18-2015, 11:04 AM

Looks great too!

How hard is it to get dash pieces off, liking it

jayakrishnanv · 04-18-2015, 11:40 AM

Really easy if you look close to the start button there is a slot thru which the trim puller can go in to pull it out lift it from the bottom and start taking it out to the left towards the passenger door there you need to be careful as that area it's really slim and can break

The drivers side trim just pops out

joeyg4282 · 04-18-2015, 12:34 PM

Great DIY job both of you!

Kal101 · 04-18-2015, 03:26 PM

Looks like a really good job

Going to park mine on your drive in the hope you'll do mine as well. !!!!

rocketretro · 04-18-2015, 03:55 PM

Nice job there Jay, if I did it it would look like it was done by a 5 year old wrapping a present. I would get the OEM but for the fact it's £624 not inc. the handbrake and gear knob thingie, so you've got the look and saved yourself a fortune.

matk · 04-19-2015, 05:47 AM

I like that a lot did you just do it with a hair dryer. i might do it to mine.

jayakrishnanv · 04-19-2015, 06:15 AM

Thank you all.

Yes this is cheaper option and you can peel it off and change it when you feel like

Yes Matk done just with hair dryer
