yes its the 3m di-noc in carbon hardest bit was removing all the switches from the dash and not messing up the savage switch wiring (thanks locoR1) as im not that good with electrics. best tip it to watch the many youtube vids of people wrapping stuff the cycle wings are a little harder but the dash took 15 mins to do. the 3m stuff is expensive but if you google a company called star vinyls they do a cheaper version which is half the cost but 90% as good. i used the 3m as we have 5 meters of the stuff at work

Nice work, I've considered doing my cycle wings, due to one having an area of cracked gelcoat. Looks good.

the only downside of this stuff is some variants look a matt finish and not like the real macoy, 3m stuff looks the closest ive seen.

If you do have genuine cf parts on the car it stands out like a sore thumb.
