not too bad at all. Easy compared to pulling out the centre console.

I'd pull it out and wrap it, then you will get much better edges.




Tips for people intending to wrap;

1) Clean the surface that intend on wrapping, including the back edge that the wrap will also stick too.

2) ensure that the wrap piece is about 4cm bigger all round than item that you are covering. The wrap's stickiness will run out if handled too much.

3) Try to avoid touching any of the wrap (sticky side) that will make contact.

4) use a hair dryer to help soften the wrap so you can stretch it to go around corners and edges.

5) take your time. apply the wrap carefully and gently trying to eliminate all bubbles. If there are bubbles carefully push them out to the edge.

6) ensure that the CF pattern is all flowing in the same direction

7) Ensure that the edges are wrapped well and fully stuck down. Carefully cut off excess unneeded wrap.

7) Enjoy your work.
