    Wrapping interior parts

    Has anyone wrapped their dash surrounds and all the other faded/worn through silver bits????? I was going to have a go with some brushed silver. I saw some on Evilbay a while ago done in carbon fibre that looked good.

    I'm planning a complete do over for the internals from the carpet up, this would include wrapping the black surround around the stereo and climate controls if I can get the matt charcoal im after.

    In my car the wrap will be used to cover screw damage once I've filled and sanded the holes for a smooth finish.

    The doors will be retrimmed with cloth at the same time.

    The cheaper vinyl wraps are a pain to use on curved surfaces. As with most things, you get what you pay for. 3m are a good brand.
    Also, generally the textured or patterned finishes (such as the brushed ally look or carbon fibre look) are a lot less flexible and maluble making it harder to wrap any curves.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Once they make up the colour it should have a code on it.
