OK many of you know I sprayed the dash panels Black to blend in with the stereo. I recently bought some 3M Carbon effect vinal wrap which I have been playing with. What do you guys think (sorry about the pic quality)

looks like a good job putting the carbon film on there

what is behind the little grill at the bottom that you've covered over? inside temp sensor?

Yeah there's a tube attached to the back that is used to sense the temp from the Cabin. I'm leaving it like that and waiting to see what happens, if the A/C goes all screwy I'll just disconnect the hose from the back and route it into the footwell.

Really nice that, was thinking of doing the fuse cover under the bonnet as a test for bigger bits. Was the wrap from Fleabay?

You'll find it here:

Really easy to use but try not to burn your fingers if you use a hot air gun!

Just finished it off, bit of a pain in the ass though, the temp sensor was actually just behind the grille I'd covered, fortunately I had a spare one on my original dash panel so I've lengthened the wire and placed it under the steering column as the A/C was all over the place without the sensor exposed to the air. I couldn't get the film cut neatly enough around the grille so had to go for this approach.

Looks good but I hope it stays on,

I done similar on my last scoob, spent ages in the lounge with all the bits, doing it really neat with a hair dryer to stretch and stick smooth.

Went in the car and after a few warm days it started to peel.
