Carbon fiber wrap in a 2007 328i Convertible

LuisAlcocer · 04-29-2011, 03:54 PM

what you guys think? should i leave it on? i just finished installing it

JS82 · 04-29-2011, 04:27 PM

I don't think it looks right with the wood.
And try to get those bubbles out and check all the edges.

Steering wheel looks good, but maybe take another stab at it to get rid of the bubbles.

Shift knob plate thingy, definitely doesn't look good with the wood... Wrap the whole center piece instead. Is that DI-NOC?

Also be consistent with the direction of the weave.

Good first attempt but the bubbles are killing it

I would recommend giving 3M Di-Noc a chance, it's very difficult to get bubbles with it since it has the air passages on the adhesive side. Also, if your going to wrap some parts, you should wrap all the wood also to complete the look.

when executed correctly, this will look good. but currently the amount of bubbles make this look cheap and sloppy. do it again!

I was going to try to do this too. Did you take off steering wheel trim? I'm having trouble getting mine off

monkawekrue · 04-30-2011, 03:07 PM

get rid of the wood. maybe it could look a bit better.

djkrajzi · 05-02-2011, 02:37 PM

Deff wrap the wood as well!!! Get a better wrap and do it again!!! Those bubbles are killing me and trust me you will not regret covering the wood... i just did it all this past weekend!!!

djkrajzi · 05-02-2011, 02:41 PM

also your carbon fiber isnt even going the same way!!! Steering wheel is going left and center console is going right!!! DEFF redo all of this and use self adhesive wrap like 3M Di-noc
