i do think carbon fibre luks the ***** as long as it isnt 2 over the top, I think with this kit it would b the case of tape it into place see wat u think if like fit it permantly. Luks good value for money as I was lookin at 1 lately and it was only the centre console for £300.

This would appear to fit a left hand drive car, just be careful that all the pieces will fit our right hand drive versions, as if they are cut to fit they may be different............apart from that NICE !!!

probably look alright until the adhesive dries out, it starts lifting at the edges, falling off, and leaving your dash looking like sh*t...... but thats just my opinion......

tacky tacky mate,

someone like Chris Gaw can wrap anything you want in carbon and it will look the dogs *****, and if its left un-laquerd, it`ll look ultra stealthy

that stuffs just an alternative tot he wood stick on turd people used to buy
