Little Project I Started

So this is my first BMW, so I do not know what the general consensus is, so I hope not to offend when I say, I hate the "wood" interior.

So I ordered some carbon fiber vinyl and decided to change that.

This is the progress so far.

You find the vinyl easy to apply?

With a little heat it can be managed, most vinyls are petroleum based so with some heat they become very malleable. I use to work at a sign shop back in the day and have a few vehicle wraps under my belt, so it wasn't too difficult.

Got side tracked because my LED interior lighting kit arrived and so did my GP Thunder H8 8500k halo bulbs.

I agree with you 100% the wood grain is hideous, I went the same route as you about a week after I bought my car lol!
