Klauster, how's the vinyl lasting? Any edges come up? What happens if you get a stone chip?
some stone chips, hardly noticeable, the vinyl took the hit on the bonnet. 2 small areas of bubbling which if I cud be arsed I get sorted. To be honest im thinking ill go back to black at Christmas :D

Very nice Steve - a different car for a while and you can change it back! I like the detailing on the alcantara - keep us posted about how it wears.

where did you get it done if you don't mind me asking? Is it hard to remove the vinyl and will this damage the underlying paintwork at all?

Thinking about doing my roof.

Looks great. Not sure i would go for the carbon look roof but the rest looks stuning.
Would you be able to get more steering wheels etc?

Could get them recovered yes - but would need yours or a dummy to do it - carbon is a bit grey lookig - they do a few different shades actually so you could choose on to your liking
