Cheers pal
Honestly, top notch job. Stuff is really good, a bit difficult to work on in some places and it takes a lot of time but when it's done it looks like a genuine Audi product (apart the colour and pattern)

And it's not a quick job and to achieve this you really need to stripe every single piece of wood from chromes, frames, bars
You can't also just leave the excess of carbon behind the panels, corners or edges coz everything is to tight fit you need to finish it the way original trim is finished, form it well, melt it properly and very precise cuts.

Following a recent enquiry we've decided to offer also posting service which we thought about originally, but were not sure about the feedback and interest.

Here is a quick update to what is what, how and how much.

1. 1 car or 1 posting order over the weekend - £250
2. 2 cars or 1 car & 1 posting order or 2 posting order - £200 each
3. Posting order cost will include insured posting service back to you via Parcelforce which is about £20
4. Reason for weekend discount as explained in previous replies (just so you can justify the cost and involvement): we get a lot of joy from things like that. This does require 2 skilled guys. My best mate who is involved in this unfortunately lives 150miles away so there is a cost of approx £75. It's a long 7hours+ process and you are on it all this time, two of us. Weekends are the only days we can meet. So when you doing two cars there is a fair £100 off the cost for both cars.
5. How long?? On site approx. 7 hours. Posting order depends from when you get the bits over to us. With a next day delivery to us you could get the bits off the car as late as Thursday morning and get them shipped lunch or after lunch time. To be super safe same thing but Wednesday.
Bits get to us Friday or Thursday.
All will be completed by Saturday evening so pictures of ready product (plenty of them and quality ones) will be emailed over Sunday by lunch time. If you like it you will 'donate' payment Monday morning (this days 2hour transfer is standard), ideally 8am - received by 10am - shipment back to you around 12pm same day, Monday. This way you will receive your bits back as early as Tuesday.
6. Ideally please send a quick email after posting to us containing weight and size of the box you send to us, this way we can book the shipment back for Monday morning as early as Friday before, base on weight and dimensions provided by you.
7. Posting orders. Please pack bits very carefully with plenty of bubble wrap cut pieces of foam, anything soft and not in too small box so its not squashed. Small scratches on the way to us are not a problem but we would like to avoid that on the way to you. We've got some bubble wraps and foams so its not the end of the world but we may struggle with big enough boxes. Remember we will be booking courier back base on the dimensions and weight of parcel you will be sending.
8. Last thing on the list: Enjoy it

That is a quality finish mate.

No distortion or anything on the CF pattern.

Very well done .

For some time I was looking for a perfect combo of new interior trims along the carbon I've done some time ago and I think I found it.

Some people don't like anything what's not OEM, some don't like wrap (maybe the ones done badly), but we are all different and as you can see below if done properly it can look really amazing.

I'm not a fan of re-spraying the trim cos you can never get back to OEM look if needed, with wrap it is as easy as 123.
And in case I scratch one of the trims, correcting it is just so easy and fast and always perfect match as its from the same roll (I bought enough wrap always to do at least 5-8 cars from each roll)

Unfortunately car is still in the bodyshop but as soon I will have it back I will post some pics with trim on the car.

My aim was to create a nice contrasting line around the car, but nothing to chunky and something different, something possibly more modern but so it doesn't look too odd.

I think I found it.

That looks fantastic. Amazing job.

If my A8 had black leather instead of cream (not sure how I feel about carbon/cream combo) and I wasn't planning on selling it soon, I would go for it.

I can only imagine how difficult it would be to get a finish like that. Prices seem more than reasonable. Good luck with it.
