Thread: Some interior wrapping

Hi everyone. My first post.

Had a crack at my interior with some vinyl (and my badge with the left overs)

Heres it at the moment. Next will be the symphony II. I just need to get some keys so i can pull it out to wrap it.






(Forgot to put the piece behind the ashtray back lol)




My keys

Oh and the car lol






Had this before


this before the mini


and this before the R32


:D

iv recently done my trims in carbon and was thinking of doing my climate unit and radio and you've given me the will to do it mate looks top , was it hard to take apart the climate unit or is it strait forward enough cheers

Lovely car and the history of cars also!

In terms of the wrap I'm undecided as the stereo now stands out to me. I am probably a little biased as I'm not the biggest fan of carbon although lately it has started to grow on me based on what I see on this forum.

Quality of work looks good also - wish I had the skills!

I'm surprised how good it looks actually, well done

Looks decent!

I remember seeing that kind of wrapping on another A3... ah yes... S3-Dan's:

welcome jules!! as already mentioned cracking job!! only thing id say is maybe the symphony needs doing!!

Dont worry, i just need to get hold of the keys to do the headunit. Its getting done

Thanks all. Yep Dan spurred me to get some vinyl and have a go.

If you fancy doing it this is the best value bit of vinyl you can get for the interior, its the same as in my pics

No. You will need a very small allen key for the screws but my first pic shows all the screws and buttons. Just make sure you trim the edge of the button gaps or the buttons stick. I had to re-do them.

Wonder if they have a `Roll Back` offer on Dans dillers

Nice work buddy! I have started wrapping my interior and it all looked great - until the inside of the car got roasting hot and cos i hadnt wrapped it round the back of the door trims far enough, it came off in places. I was f'in livid.


I would say that wrapping the b pillar is a good mod. Well pleased with mine!!

i had the same prob dude on my pass door a little bit started pealing so i cut it off lol , im thinking of doing the b pillar to just waiting on some more wrap now

Cheers all. Glad to see the thread sort of recovered lol!

Yeah i have wrapped it round where i can.

Sorry where do you mean b-pillars?

it is on the 3door the plastic bit between the door and the rear side window

So looking at your past cars, what was the best Jules ?

The R32. Sounds awesome, looks amazing and any rev power.

The S3 is pushing ahead though

Wrap looks good!

mmmmm you have inspired me going to do some Carbon wrapping now

Used my fuel cap for some practice, its surprisingly difficult to do!

Symphony done

Jeeez.....that's some clever stuff you done mate. I've never tried wrapping, but would consider small areas like all those buttons to be fiddly as hell !! (not good for someone with clumsy fingers like me)

Ohh.....haaa haaaa how on earth did I miss this thread!!!!!!!! Every car should have one eh! Someones has lol.........

I just wrapped all four door inserts, gear surround and ash tray lid - bye bye misty/scratched Piano Black trim! Marvellous stuff!

mine were scratched to hell lol but now they look 1000% better , did u carbon wrap them to

I just had a couple of deep scratches on my door inserts, a few lights ones, and the annoying "misting" that doesn't polish out. In short, all six trim pieces were letting the interior down badly! Yep, carbon fibre 3M Di-Noc turned up this morning, so I set to it this afternoon and finished just in time for dinner. Got quite a bit left over though....it was tempting to have a carbon fibre pizza for dinner! :D My girlfriend's pet rabbits look great with carbon fibre tails...people did say this gets addictive!

its good stuff that , its the same stuff i used as well , oh it does ive done my cars key and keyring too just waiting on some more to come so i can do my b pillar and my wing mirrors

have you considered doing the bit between your split grilles? you know, near the numberplate? that could either look really good or really crap. but if it looks really crap you could always peel it off again!

I'm calling it a day for now, I've seen the results of people getting a bit vinyl-happy and don't want to fall into the trap! I've tidied up my tired looking trim pieces and achieved a different look, so will make do for now...I think...!
