RE: vinyl wrapping
Re going piano black, yes if you're on wood, no if yuo're on anything else. I have the Ally and wouldn't change it for anything.
@p3u: did you remove the Quattro badge and replace it for the passenger side dash trim?

I just assumed he was currently with wood trim. I'm with silver, love it, can't beat a bit of bare metal!

RE: vinyl wrapping
Ahuh, not too shabby, me no want but do likey. Is it textured? The standard Audi stuff is glossed with more grey, right?

Why, are you considering buying OEM items to retrofit? BTW which trim do you currently have?SteveCuz wrote:Anyone want to snap some similarly detailed pics of the oem carbon fibre look?

RE: Re: RE: vinyl wrapping
Well, if the right ones came up, I might buy oem - had a chance to buy a set 2 years ago but missed out.
By really just to see them. I know some people don't actually like the oem carbon fibre look so want to make my own mind up.
I would describe mine as tortoise shell but I think it must be the wood effect but like no wood I've ever seen!! Kinda greeny colour.
I actually don't mind it but I've had if ro 2 1/2 years and getting some cosmetic work down on the car and thinking about a few changes.

RE: Re: RE: vinyl wrapping
The problem is that you can't really tell from the photo. It's a bit like holograms.
Because the top millimeter or so of the carbon fiber composite is transparent resin, you get that 3D effect when you move your head while looking at it. I don't think the imitations can do anythign like this.
I must admit that the photos do look good though.

3M stuff is textured, and not shiny
OEM stuff is proper carbon, with no texture, but lacquered to give that shine
