Morning all. I’ll start by saying that generally speaking I’m not a fan of doing stick on things to my car and like everything to be strictly factory. However the price is so prohibitive if you wanted piano black interior I decided to look at options.

After going to a heated steering wheel which is black already I’m now having a go at other panels as most of them are flat.

Used vvivid gloss black. £25. Bit of a skill to it but it’s keeping me busy and out of the rain.

Will post further pics when complete. It’s looking decent so far. Only concerns were wrap scratching but as it’s all very low traffic area I’m not worried it’ll be a problem. Plus if I don’t like it I can remove it all in a couple of hours and everything will be untouched.

Couple of tips, and bear in mind it took a few hours.

1. Don’t break door latch release cable end when removing cable from handle (thankfully only a tenner) as I broke mine
2. Remember screw behind cover on door release
3. Some of the cables under gear selector have security tags in red. Suss them before you start pulling the lot off - or trying.
4. Buy a bit more wrap than you need for practising. I ended up re wrapping the gear surround as I’d got much better at working the wrap after four door inserts!!
