Looks good, have you got a picture from the complete interior front?
That we can see if the carbon matches the rest.

Will take one tomorrow, I did take one but the sun caught the lens and just burnt it out.

It is a slightly diff weave but not enough to replace the original stuff. You can however buy that aswell.

That looks great :). It matches perfectly the rest, nice work.

Yeah, I'm glad I didn't have the black interior and had the silver or I don't think it would have worked.

The silver air vents and the radio section stand out and make the cabin still seem bright and give a bit of life to the dash.

I am not 100% sure. VXRPC fitted them for me. I saw them on their car and decided to have them on mine.

Andy, the so called vauxhall 'carbon' effect trim panels are like 3D cubes - nowhere near imitating carbon...
...so the new centre console shown here does not match it at all !

If you dont believe me go and look at your car.

Since it does'nt match you have choices whether to leave it looking unmatched, or get carbon effect film and do the panels on the car (including door trim panels).

quite a time consuming process.

VXRPC sell the complete interior including doors etc.

I only opted for the centre console as I felt that the match is different but not enough to warrant my time or money on the rest. but it is each to their own, some people will want the 100% match and others wont mind them complimenting each other.

VXRPC done it... so yes it was, u was sitting back relaxing!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I know they had to remove the stereo so I think it was a bit of a process for them.
