Hi guys can anyone here tell me the best way of giving my interior the "Carbon Look". I have found sheets in Carbon effect that can be applied using adhesive backing but not sure how it may come out. I am specifically thinking of the area below the handbrake and gearlever, around the radio/ashtray/heating controls and on both passenger and driver doorbins as my plastic (Black/Grey not Walnut) is looking very shabby and well used.

Swap with MV6 parts?

Facelift MV6 uses tacky silver....

The best way is to buy some ready made carbon effect items as fitted to certain models of omega as standard.
I just happen to have a set of doortrims and the gearlever surround and handbrake area covers avaliable, assuming yours is a prefacelift model.
PM me if interested

If done well looks brilliant,Albatross had a nice 3.2 with silver trim replaced with a very nice carbon one. It was actually just stuck over the top, but it was done, very, very well. :y

I got some free many years back free with a car mag. Was only a small sample size square so not much to use, so I applied it to an alarm fob.
Surprisingly it turned out quite well, and I am considering doing exactly the same to cover the wood trim in mine.
As long as the surface it's applied to are clean and dry I don't see why it wouldn't work well.

This is my thinking as long as time is taken along with proper prep work before hand.

My missis did few bits in my Carlton - looked really good, but after a few hot summers, it's starting to peel off.
Time to paint it silver instead of horrible plastic fake wood effect.:y

I've never seen the application of carbon-look sticky back plastic look anything other than horrific, especially on compound curved items. How about the real thing? Example...
