been playing around with trim on my 944 turbo, I want to keep the black trim but need to give at a bit of WOW so I have wrapped the console in Carbo Fibre Cloth (NOT VINYL) it is soft to the touch and matte.....and painted the plastic trim in Silver ......If i decide I like it I will wrap the lower dash and paint some of the other plastic trim bits ......what do you you think ??????

That looks pretty impressive actually. Where & how much is the carbon fibre cloff?

Thanks
the cloth cost me £75 inc carriage and VAT from the USA I can not find anyone that sells it in the UK,
It is 54" wide and I had 2m so that will do tops of door cards, lower dash, console with more to spare

Thats a good idea for a tired interior. Looks great to me. Maybe should colour code the inserts so it isn't totally black. :)

Thanks guys I have decided I like the way it looks I have however the silver is too light so I have darkened it slightly, Im staying with the mainly black theme because I am modifiring the arm rest and door cards to take a mega audio install which will look totally stock until the LEDS are turned on exposing the hidden speakers, some of the other plastic trim parts will be sprayed to match ............I am concerned that I do not want a overly modified car just slightly enhanced one.
more pictures to follow

The quality of work looks excellent :)

Personally I would have chosen black leather (for my car which is an early car) and you've gave me a possible idea :D
