Hey guys, thinking about doing two things with my interior, first is changing the wood grain look to perhaps orange vinyl, and also change the boot to a black one with orange stitching.

 

 

here's a link of the vinyl wrap

something similar to that I'm thinking

 

 

 

here's a picture of it now

also post pictures of your interior to give me ideas!

I think orange vinyl trim would be too much (says the man with red vent surrounds. Im getting rid of them i promise). Either paint it black or maybe carbon fibre wrap. Best thing would be to look for some B4 trims which are brushed aluminium or some JDM trims which are a really dark green woodgrain/rock pattern which actually looks good

Alternatively, you could consider sourcing a set of Liberty B4 trim pieces like so:

mm i do like the b4 pieces, I was thinking it may be too much with the orange albeit there isn't a heap of trim

I wouldn't go orange, it just isn't my preferred colour for anything. Definitely go the carbon fibre wrap or the B4 trim. I'm a fan of keeping things as close to genuine as possible, so the B4 trims would win in this case. However my mate owns an SP23 with carbon fibre wrap on the trim and it looks the goods.

carbon fibre to me looks a little lame tbh haha

It won't look out of place though, that's the reason why most people go about it. It goes well with any grey or black interior.

B4 surrounds get my vote.
B4 RSK seats are also a good upgrade.
MOMO steering wheel looks great

thats true, guess i'll try and find b4 panels, as for the seats and wheel I'm pretty happy with them so i'll leave that

Am I the only one that likes the woodgrain?

I wrap alot of things. Its just easier than paint and you can always go back. Make sure you get wrapping film if you're a novice as it has air escape channels. Normal adhesive will show any imperfections (dust/bubbles). It's fairly easy.

Place the vinyl over the piece to be wrapped, sticking down flat surfaces first. Once thats done, start by detailing edges then apply heat ( usually a decent quality hair dryer should do it). Once you apply heat, the film will become very maellable and will be easy to form.into the recess. DO NOT cut anything until it's fully cooled and formed otherwise it can tear.

Like i said, fairly easy.

Good luck...

+1 B4 brushed aluminium (then spray, wrap your old surrounds orange and swap as you please)
