Here is how it all began... a workshop gashed my passenger door quite badly but i didnt realise until a while later so no point going back to argue. Try to solve it instead... didnt like robson's CF as the lacquer is too thick n i dont see myself paying too much for it (personal preference).
So i went to some reputable sticker company, they didnt dare do for me because they said they cant guarantee good workmanship, and that the bends around my aircon vents are near impossible. Also the gash on my trimming wont be covered up, and that the sticker will also show an indentation, which i realised later its not the case.
During recent meetup, fellow forumer DIY his own trimming for the X6. But the X6 trims were all rectangular, meaning it doesnt surround the aircon vents, so he didnt need to remove the trims, just paste over and slowly cut to shape with pen knife.
Anyway i went to buy my own CF... pluck out the trims which were pretty easy... only piece that i had to deal with simple wiring was the front passenger piece that was quite long and included the ignition button.... after 8 straight hours of work, fingers damn pain from pressing & pulling the stickers, hair dryer also burn me couple of times... here is the result.
Cant say workmanship not good cause there is no one to compare with... cant say its good also coz there are flaws... but overall what the heck, i'm happy
The simple pieces were a breeze... those that requires folding were tougher...
Gonna try again on another car then can open business liao
First piece...
First piece on... this one perfect coz still had patience and was very careful...
2 rear side trimmings
Rear side
Centre console was a pain... i didnt know how to remove the trim so i had to break up the stickers and slowly paste and cut. Gear knob i also dunno how to remove, so did the same thing. Close 1 eye, can live with the joint lines...
Rear centre... may wanna matt black the compartment cover instead.
Another rear side
