And most recently I've had a play with some carbon fibre wrap on the interior trim

I've not been on recently for one reason or another.
Updates? Kind of, cars had the front tyres changed, it's first MOT, third year service and a full winter detail/protection. I've also had the wing mirrors wrapped and front grill re-wrapped with a view to having the roof wrapped.
Anyway I'll let the pictures do the talking...
New boots (well car with no wheels

There must be some were near you that does wraping for sure
most window tint places now offer this but it is easy try it your self

Think that's the thing, I'm fundamentally tight and think I could do it myself but then can't find the time to do it lol

Hi Little King,
How did you remove the wing mirror cover?
Matt
My GTC Progress thread Little King - tucpal - 15:th-Jan-2015

Someone actually hit the drivers side one recently and took the casing off but I have never managed to get it back correctly.
