You can get carbon fibre look pillars from Seat! There's a thread on here and my car as always had them.

I would just get the pillar decals from Seat, do the mirrors (seen these done before) they looked good and then maybe the roof but leave it at that...... also from Seat you can get a carbon fibre decal to go behind the rear number plate!

Leave it at that then.... would only go mad if the bits are real carbon fibre!

I would be happy to do other peoples I'm doing some for people on a golf forum too. But cost would depend on what you want doing as the carbon vinyl is exspencive.

It's not to hard just need a heat gun to make the vinyl pliable to bend round the corners. I have just finished my roof which took 2 of us 4 and a half hours. Not as easy as I thought but loving the result. Pics comming soon!

Here are a few pics not very good as taken from my iphone. I know i could do a better job if i was to do this again but for a first time effort i think it came out ok. Its ok working with small parts like i have previously done but working on suck a large scale the Vinyl is hard to keep flat and stop it crom creasing.

Well this is the final result. Im happy with it but just needs a bit of back to black rubbing on it to get rid of some scuffs and get it looking clean etc.

I really like the roof. It looks great.

Love the look of the interior bits that you have aswell. Where did you get the vinyl from?

I got it from a place called William smith, its a industrial sign making place, or you can buy it from ebay, search for 3M carbon fiber.
