Hey guys,
Even though the lancer is on its way out I just cant help myself from modding it haha....
Ive been getting into Carbon Wrapping car bits and this is my first part of the lancer interior I've had a crack at.
Sorry for poor photo quality, Ill try and get better ones soon, also the interior shots didnt work as its too dark, ill get light ones tomorrow.

Let me know what you guys think, I might get around to trying other bits of the interior and then offering the service to others.
Looking at doing the silver trim, steering wheel button area, A/C controls etc.

Before:

After:

Dodgy incar shot:

Thanks guys,
Brian

Sure thing, I can give it a go on my own car first, make sure I can do it well and then let you see how it comes up haha :)

Ive also started doing badges, pretty fun stuff

You must have a lot of patience... I sucked at covering books back in primary school and haven't given it a go since!

How long did it take you to do the centre console? that would have involved a lot of heating and wrapping..

haha dont remind me...

this has become my new hobby and the vinyl is removeable, just doing it for a bit of fun/practice as i have a couple friends who want me to do their cars, but i want to make sure i can do it well enough first

3M Di-Noc is great to work with. It's easy to catch the bug hey :) Once I started doing my interior in Di-Noc I had to make a real effort not to cover everything in my life that wasn't bolted down :)
