Yeah phillc I was kinda stumped when they said they didn't have them on the system. Might try another dealership.
D.K. thanks for the pics, looks great. Giving me some ideas, like the manifold cover. I think i'm going to contact 'big boys toys' down your neck of the woods. Going to see if they still stock the engine cover. Are they still in Essex?
Ha that might be the
So the carbon fabric sheets easier to work with but how do durable are they? Don't want to start this using something that is going to scratch / scuff really easily. Was going to use it on the interior or should i just get the real carbon stuff?
Big Boy's Toy's is now AmD, it's the same firm just under a different name. they are still in Essex next to Ikea.
If you want the engine cover then speek to Forge, beware they are expensive
The real carbon is a lot more durable than the vinyl as it is coated in 3-4 layer of clear coat resin which protect's the weave and gives it a deep glossy finnish.
What every you do dont mix real CF and vinyl CF in the same area it will look bad
Ok guys, sorry for going on and on here but just want to get the right stuff. I have been on ebay and had a look at the 3M Di-Noc Carbon sheets. Is this the stuff to go for? 300x300mm from underground graphics, this should do for a trial.
Will post link when on the computer tomorrow (on the mobile just now). Yeah i was only planning on using the 3M stuff in the cabin. I checked my old B.B.T price list for the forge engine cover it was only £130. Oh wait a minute the price was from 2005-06. lol..
They are now £183.83 from Forge, if you order from them say your from SCN and you'll get 10% off

They sometimes come up on Ebay.
I think Awesom sell one which is a bit cheaper but the ones I'v seen are not as good as the Forge ones

Cool thats not too bad. Any tips you can give me about fitting? Remove part, clean, heat sheet with girlfriend's hair dryer (sshhh we won't tell her about that..lol), apply sheet edge to edge while removing any air bubbles...
From your experience D.K. what would be a good starter? I want to do the center console surround and the gear gater surround cover. What do you think?

That's the stuff I was thinking about..
What do you reckon for the cabin?
Anyone taken the trim from the centre console off ( bit around the CD / Climate control unit & the bit above) - Mine is a metallic finish at present. Is this easy to get off?
Cheers
dh0001.. I only plan to use the 3M stuff inside the cabin. Mmm with regards to removing the center trim I have one issue as my right hand side clip from removing the headunit doesn't catch the removal key. The guys at SEAT tried but couldn't get it. Any ideas on how to get to those screws without removing the headunit? Or getting the unit out?
You cant remove the trim without removing the head unit, not sure on the head unit removal if it is stuck, sorry.
No worries phill, i'm just going to keep trying, got a few pointers from lee. Quick question on fitting the 3M Di-noc sheet. Do you guys wrap it right round the part flush with the edge? Or return 10 to 20mm on the back of the part being covered?
Cheers mate, thats kinda what i thought. Knew you would be the guy to ask..lol. All i need to do now is get this headunit out. Should get the 3M Di-noc sheet during the week. What do you think about doing the center trim as a 1st attempt?
