    Default Carbon Fibre Again

    Is this the best stuff to use for wrapping the outside pillars and also would a piece 50cm x 1m be enough....

    Just bought a sheet of this myself to do my outside window trims with. I don't particularly like the carbon look on stuff inside the car, but it does look nice on the window trims and mine are pealing.

    Not sure, but if you peel back the rubber trim there are torx bolts behind it apparently it's as simple as that. Not bothered looking at mine yet, but hopefully it's that easy.
