I'm thinking about it. The options are a proper kit from GGR for £200-300 (ouch!), or buy the film and DIY for about £20-40.
GGR's kit is nice, but is very thick - carbon with a 3-4mm thick plastic coating and the price puts me off big-time. You can get sheets of film from Halfords or Demon Tweeks at £20 a throw but then you have to do all the cutting and sticking yourself, and I'm not sure how good it would look on curved surfaces. Let me know if you do it, I'd be interested in the results.

I have the kit fitted to my car MY98 and i can honestly say that it looks the dog's danglies.. The only bits that look at all "iffy" are the instrument surround and the window controls.. If you have the money consider the driving lamp conversion from scoobysport first (if you don't already have it)

Thumbs down

Hi,
I fitted the GGR kit at great expense and I have to say the quality of the product is excellent. HOWEVER, it looked more like the dogs **** than it's danglies when it was fitted to the car. So off it came (except gear suround which when matched with the Momo gear **** looks pretty good).
Be careful as it's purely a metter of taste.
