There not wrapped , where wrapping can be ripped off hydro dipping is like Sliver platingWhat does that actually mean? Wrapped in real carbon fibre then lacquered?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrographics_(printing)What does that actually mean? Wrapped in real carbon fibre then lacquered? Looked it up - don’t think that’s what you mean ... mine are done as described.

His aren't dipped they're layered with real carbon fibre with a resin.Would 100% love my trims dipped in carbon like this they look sick Mate
If its done the way the guy on Ebay does them there £160 for 4 trims and the guy told me his are real carbon on top off tge originalHis aren't dipped they're layered with real carbon fibre with a resin.
I toyed with this process in my old car, cost about £50 for the parts - these parts seem pretty complex to do so would guess they ain't cheap.

Mine are hydrodipped but av the same effectthat is tempting af.
had a look at his completed listings, he does 'core return' where you send him your pieces and hell do them for £100
are yours from this guy or hydrodipped?
That looks great but for me it’s too much ‘CF’ in one area - prefer the break up of the alu look around the gaiter myself. Looks good nonetheless.Fitted the gaitor around gear knob and knee pads , but forgot how time consuming it was putting those pads in when you need to remove a nice tight retrofitted Q3 Climate Control , even forgot back 2 screws for the pads but there nice an tight without themView attachment 166393
Cheers, looking to totally change interior colour but no sure if i will get all plastic trims hydrodippedThat looks great but for me it’s too much ‘CF’ in one area - prefer the break up of the alu look around the gaiter myself. Looks good nonetheless.

Ha ha ha I thought that keep thieves away lolYou wouldn’t want to be standing too close when that boot pops!
Will keep an eye on itI am happy you completed the hatch pop BUT I am hoping that the mod doesn't bend your attachment point like others. fingers crossed
Did the others use the same struts? I mean the struts from the same seller.I am happy you completed the hatch pop BUT I am hoping that the mod doesn't bend your attachment point like others. fingers crossed
How much harder are they to close now?Boot struts in operation //cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5bae470ba5514/20180928_161951.mp4

Just a bit more but I'm thinking after awhile they will settle. Won't use it all the timeHow much harder are they to close now?
I got mines off a link on hereDid the others use the same struts? I mean the struts from the same seller.
What did you mean saying "won't use it all the time"? Are you going to change back to the original struts?Just a bit more but I'm thinking after awhile they will settle. Won't use it all the time

What I ment was not use the feature all the time. If you want some. I could get for you if you pay me I buy and ship to youWhat did you mean saying "won't use it all the time"? Are you going to change back to the original struts?
I made a new attempt to convince the seller to ship these struts to Denmark. I could buy the package label online and email him, so he could put it on the box and send out. He refused even replying.
I got them because it's a mod worthwhile doing. I understand that the struts are quite strong especially when opening the boot. Hence issues with brackets bending but I don't know if it's the type of struts have different strengths.What I ment was not use the feature all the time. If you want some.

What brackets are bending? Is it easy to fix by bending them back of is it anything that must be replaced?I got them because it's a mod worthwhile doing.

I don't know mate someone on here mentioned it. The brackets the struts connect to. Must bend when it opens to the top and stops abruptly if you look at my vids you might seeWhat brackets are bending? Is it easy to fix by bending them back of is it anything that must be replaced?
I see. Two thoughts pop up in my mind. 1) Is it possible to put a spring or a rubber bumper inside the strut (can we disassembly it and assembly back?). 2) Can we stop opening the hatch softly before the strut is fully extended?I don't know mate someone on here mentioned it.

Mate you think just like me. Don't think you can disassemble but it could be possible, would have to get from breakers and try. Its when the boot stops at the top. I'm going to have a look today.I see.

That Q3 CC panel does not seem to fit like the OEM panel (recessed). Does it clip in? I had to sand away 2-3 mm at the top.Fitted the gaitor around gear knob and knee pads , but forgot how time consuming it was putting those pads in when you need to remove a nice tight retrofitted Q3 Climate Control , even forgot back 2 screws for the pads but there nice an tight without themView attachment 166393
Now if you had read the post correctly Q3 CC you would have read the guys on numerous occassions mentioning you had to take 2/3mm off the sides and as @mechanic69 explained the old back off the old CC had to go on to Q3 CC , was all in the Q3 postThat Q3 CC panel does not seem to fit like the OEM panel (recessed).

I have done this mod myself and know all that. But yours don't fit like mine or like in the pics above from @mechanic69. That's why I'm asking.Now if you had read the post correctly Q3 CC you would have read the guys on numerous occassions mentioning you had to take 2/3mm off the sides and as @mechanic69 explained the old back off the old CC had to go on to Q3 CC , was all in the Q3 post
