Carbon Fiber (The poor mans way)

[ypkx]

That is so much different than US W202s, but then again, I guess there's no need for a huge armrest when you're shifting gears.

No no, no difference from the us w202s, This ones just a c180 classic manual. Which doesnt come with the armrest, where as the elegance or sport versions do. Im actually in the middle of purchasing an armrest because I like the comfort! and i need a cup holder!

Awesome wrap job ypkx

Now only if we got manual transmissions over across the pond =(

Thanks man!

Oh, you dont? I guess thats what mikeD meant..?

Now you guys need to do the door trims, dashboard trim!

[ypkx]

i think thats it for me, i cant be dealing with too much of this carbon fiber nonsense!
I like the trims on my car as it is standard is best!

[Yujin]

Ill see if I have enough left over, I ordered a 90 x 38. Lol

[MikeD]

If that's in inches then you should just wrap the roof... haha

[ypkx]

If that's in inches then you should just wrap the roof... haha

someone should do this.

i think it will determine whether or not i will do it too.
At the moment, im swaying more to 'no, dont do it'

[Yujin]

I dont think it will look good on a silver car haha, maybe a black or white car, but not silver.

[MikeD]

I actually think it'd look really good on a silver car if and only if it had a high gloss clear coat to go over it. The dry carbon fiber look on the outside of my car is sort of beginning to bother me...

[ypkx]

Ive noticed my door seals look a bit tatty too, so, my next mini project is to give it a little CF love. pictures soon

[Yujin]

I just got my CF today, 60x36 instead of 90 like I previously said, now I dont know what to do with it :/... Thinking about selling it.

[ypkx]

on the little things man! get creative

[Yujin]

I just took the cowards way out and bought all the OEM carbon fiber pieces

[ypkx]

I fitted my arm rest today Apart from how sticky and dirty the leather top is.. I am fulfilled.

I'm gonna be the guy who bumps an old topic, but Yujin brother, where did you get that OEM Carbon Fiber ish? How hard to install? Price? I NEED DETAILS!

[wichipong]

you can but the wrap and just wrap it yourself!

I would try to secure the trim from that C230K sport being parted out in the classifieds...

I found all mine at a junkyard.

If all else fails... Ebay. but the price will be over powered haha.

It was easy to install actually, but uh, not sure if you wanna do it on the C43 since it requires a little roughness (my door handles are now loose on the inside). Its not a hard hard install, just time consuming and technique. Lol...

Its called Faux carbon fiber trim.

Hope this helps amigo.

So when u order the 3M CF, is the back sticky at all? Or is it not sticky until u use a heat gun or hair dryer?

I have a sport. But i dont really like the sport CF. it looks kinda cheap to be honest, and my outside pillars are faded so i might as well do those too

[Yujin]

No, they stick on contact. But you should use a heat gun around corners, and to make it 'stretchy'. I did my pillars myself, came out very good

[chimchongdlight]

Oooo so they stick right away hu. Is it easy to mess up? Can u peel it off and re stick if u mess up?

[Yujin]

Use a heat gun for that Lol.

I just got the carbon fiber interior trim pieces from a 202 at the scrapyard. It was a pain in the ass to remove. Looks like installing this into my car is going to be a pain in the ass.
