internal wrapping - JohnL - 31:st-Aug-2014
After seeing a few people on VXROnline have wrapped parts of their interior its got me thinking. I've been toying with the idea of getting some of the Perl Blue from here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GLOSS-VINYL-WRAP-STICKER-BUBBLE-AIR-FREE-ALL-COLOURS-BLACK-RED-BLUE-WHITE-PINK-/261347452273?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item8271ad1216
To replace all the light silver bits in the car so door handles, Silver bits on the seats and around the radio/gear stick. What are peoples opinons will it look good or be too much blue?

Yeh I think it would look good, there is only 1 way to find out, just worried about the heat from the blowers

A different colour other than blue might be better mate as you have a blue car.
You might get sick of blue.

Was thinking blue to match with the stitching.

internal wrapping - tucpal - 1:st-Sep-2014
they look very nice john the blue will look real good and as you say match the stitching etc
one of the best mods i did was to paint all the interior trim pearl white
it really makes the car stand out

I paid £35 so make me an offer once you've seen them
internal wrapping - JohnL - 4:th-Sep-2014
Well after a bit of messing and speaking with the other half I've decided to go down the wrapping route. Here's what turned up this morning.

Thanks for the offer I'm going to give them a miss for the moment as it might be a bit to much colour.

lovely color that mate you will have some fun with that take you time and use heat
internal wrapping - Cameron UK - 4:th-Sep-2014
Gonna be fiddly but worth it! I would seal it behind as the heat may make it loose
internal wrapping - JohnL - 4:th-Sep-2014
Well it's started as I finished work early as I had both my house key and Anna's so she couldn't get in after finishing work.
Not sure on the door handles at the minute
internal wrapping - tucpal - 4:th-Sep-2014
the seats look real good top job.
internal wrapping - Rusty2009 - 4:th-Sep-2014
Seats are ok not sure on handles might look better in the flesh.
internal wrapping - tucpal - 4:th-Sep-2014
the handles will look ok when you have done the console and vents it will tie them all in
internal wrapping - JohnL - 4:th-Sep-2014
Yeah not sure on the handles myself. Just doing the centre console now. Will upload photos shortly
internal wrapping - JohnL - 4:th-Sep-2014
Half the centre console is now done
Need to do the other side so I can get it back in the car ready for work tomorrow
internal wrapping - Rusty2009 - 4:th-Sep-2014
I like that mate & I'm not a fan of carbon.

Love it!!!
internal wrapping - JohnL - 4:th-Sep-2014
It's all done pictures not brilliant due to the light
Must admit I'm not a fan of carbon either but thought it might hide finger prints/scratches better than a gloss finish
internal wrapping - tucpal - 4:th-Sep-2014
top work your on a roll now are you doing the vents

Not sure might see how it goes I've finished for tonight due to the lack of light. Centre console doesn't seem to want to click in properly across the top but I can't really see why as the holes line up and the rest of the clips have snapped in place.
internal wrapping - tucpal - 4:th-Sep-2014
it may just need a tap in place
internal wrapping - Rusty2009 - 4:th-Sep-2014
You do have to use a bit of force mate but always start at the top and work way down each side equally.
