Am not a massive carbon fan like Simon the way the weave doesn't all match on the console trims would do my head in. Would look better standard IMO. But your car mate so enjoy.

Your tax is out of date.
Si, regarding your wheels. Don't do them black, and choose carefully the anthracite. They'll just be lost in the arches if they're too dark mate.
