Have been looking for S4 cab carbon interior trim & was pretty put off by the price.
Thought about going the vinyl wrap route but ultimately this didn't appeal, so I looked into an EasyComposites carbon fibre skinning kit. It's basically carbon fibre cloth with the various resins required.
So got myself the large kit & got busy with it.

Striped out the interior trim & gave it a good clean with IPA then keyed the surface ready for the base resin, it looks clean but the trim had scratches & marks that where kinda niggling me.

Base resin down, carbon cloth & first coat of clear resin on & high spots knocked down as far as I dared.

After another coat or 2 of resin & a wet n dry sanding session, one last coat of resin.

Waited for that coat to cure then hit it with 800 the 1200 wet n dry, then a 2 stage machine buff & fitted.

Finally done, it came out ok there are a few bits I could have done better. This stuff is seriously fiddly to work with ... flat panels are great to do but the door trims are a pita due to there directional curves. The curing times are long, 8 hours + which explains why it took 4 days to do 8 trim pieces
.... and when handling it after you have to be uber careful as it will mark very easily as I found out.
Oh also had my steering wheel recovered by Royal steering wheels, perforated sides, nappa top & bottom, red stitching.
Next thing to replace is the gear knob, always thought it looked pants ...RS4 ones are nice but again very pricey for a gear knob, any suggestions for you guys on gear knobs would be appreciated.
