I removed all of the interior trim first - The bits I did already are the easiest to remove. I could have removed the trim around the gear stick, but I want to do the ash tray piece at the same time so that I can align the weave better & I didn't really have the time to pull the whole console out.

It all took a couple of hours, while watching TV etc. Could do it all a lot quicker now, it gets a lot easier as you get used to doing the corners using the hair dryer etc.

I was umming and ahhing about whether to get the 3M Di-noc matte CF vinyl or the newer 3M 1080 CF vinyl (which isn't ultra glossy compared to some other CF vinyl wraps). I initially was leaning towards the matte, but I purchased the 1080 as it is easier to work with and more available.

I'm really happy how its turned out so far - thanks for all the positive comments.
I was actually surprised how easy it is to do, especially as getting it done by a pro costs a packet, I just assumed that it was hard to do.
I just wanted to ensure that the weave was all flowing in the same direction.

I'll update with better pics once I've finished it.

cheers
