Hi all ,

quite pleased with the result myself , thought i'd post a pic up,

Looks good, the later shape dash seems much easier that the early newage style one:wonder:

I did think at the time it might do this, but wasn't sure:wonder: , so have avoided using the vents with the wrap , car still get too hot inside even without useing centre console vents

its easy to do mate , but some bits like the heater vents took me 3 atempts to get perfect , the rest was easy , just the vents i struggled with , but got them perfect in the end:thumb:

Did u just use a hairdryer? I had trouble getting it to shrink down into the tight corners at the stereo unit and the CF ended up splitting in thre corners. I'm going to have to buy another sheet of it as I'm not happy with the results.

Realise this thread is 7 months old, but didn't want to start a new one. Fancy doing this myself, but don't want to make a balls up of it!

Looks great.. how difficult is this to do.. do you take the centre console plastic out or can you wrap it without taking anything apart?

ben_uk 08 July 2013 08:25 PM

Anyone? Do you have to take the centre console out?

The parts to be wrapped will need to come out:thumb:

Ah ok. Is it fidily to do? My experience of anything dash related on cars results in broken plastic!
