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-WR...8271ad1216
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?

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

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.

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

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

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.

You do have to use a bit of force mate but always start at the top and work way down each side equally.
