Default Carbon Interior

Hi,

I'm thinking of having some of the interior trim in my WRX hatch changed to carbon effect but not sure of the best approach.

Can anyone recommend a company in Yorkshire that could do this?

Cheers
Gordon

Is your interior trim carbon? No, so don't wrap it in plastic to make it look like it

Hmm. Food for thought - it may be a bit much.

I'm only looking to have the parts if the trim that are light gray (interior door handles, sat nav surround and strip along the dash). These have a pretty crappy grey paint which has flaked a little on the door handle from wear. It also chips very easily.

I thought it might improve it but maybe not.

Just get replacement parts that are good nick? or upgrade to the Hawkeye dash?

If you want to modify it, why not go for painting them Piano Black? at least its not trying to be something it isn't.

Hi Ben,

Would be interested on that. I see you have an event at KT Green end of the month. Would love to pop along but I'm out of action that weekend.

Do you want to PM me your number and can have a chat?

Cheers
GC
