Bit of an interior change

[leelacey17]

Had my Is 250 for about 18 months but was never a fan of the wood interior. Decided a few weeks back to get some test sections of wrap to see what looked ok to me.

 

Went for a 8dm black carbon fibre wrap from an on line company. Did the work today and I'm very happy with the outcome.

 

Had to take all the switches off the back bit it was quite simple just best not to rush it. Know it's not to everyone's taste but I much prefer it to the wood.

That's a very neat job you've done Lee.  Personally I prefer the wood look, but each to his own eh!

Thats certainly a good job - looks factory fresh to be honest.

I prefer it to the wood and I think it suits the grey interior better. Never thought brown went so well with grey anyway

Excellent job looks professional and refreshes the interior.

Excellent job Lee, looks really good and much better than the wood in my opinion. 

Where did you get the wrap?

Thank you. Company called Carbonsupply.uk. They do 3 types in the 8d one I got but the black turned out best. Unfortunately you don't need much so have loads left.

Took about 3 hours all in including taking everything apart and put it all back together.

Looks great. I think the wood looks better with tan/ivory interior but yours looks better with the grey.

Looks heaps better than the wood IMO and what great job you have done fitting it too.

Looks really cool 😎

I usually like the wood effect however when I see the transformation you have performed on your vehicle, I must admit ,it looks fantastic and you should be well pleased with the finished result. I'm pretty sure many members will be envious of the look you have achieved. Well done you.

Do all the parts strip down to just the wood components completely? It's just that the chrome surround around the gear selector gate looks very intricate if you had to 'cut in' around it. Very neat looking job and I guess it is 'reversible' if required?

Yes they pretty much strip right down and all the switches are just held in with screws. Once you remove them it allows a better finish as you can wrap into the gap and then put the switch back.

The hardest part was the chrome around the gear selector as it doesn't come out. You just need a bit of time and hold your breath whike you do it. The ash tray and cup holder lid also stay in place.

It's quite a thick wrap and sticks well but the edges need warming with a hairdryer to soften the wrap, this allows you to stretch it a bit to get better finish.

Excellent professional looking job. Well done, With your interior colour imho the wrap looks far better than the wood.
