Really like the carbon parts!! I need to decide which parts I want carbon wrapped!


I really like that knob (ohhh errr) but ain’t paying £20 for it, anybody found any other cheaper alternatives?

Slightly cheaper, not much though.

I thought I paid about £9 from my local dealer?

I don't know what I paid tbh. It's over 12 months since I got it. It is stupidly expensive for a piece of plastic.

I'm a big fan of carbon, and a big fan of most of the mods you've done to the car but I'm afraid in my opinion this looks a bit cheap.

Kudos for getting the car to where it is though! :thumbsup:

No idea why but I am unnaturally drawn to cheasy mods like hydro dipping and wrapping parts, I am constantly being talked out of installing EL wire (would actually prefer laser wire so I can change colour easily) into my car by the wife.

This one isn't mine, just posted it as an example of what I don't like. Mine is the OP.

ooh you're in for a treat! :wink:

I have el wire set up in the centre console. Not to that extent though, and only white light. I've tried to keep it as tasteful as possible, I haven't got it wired up to the power yet though.
