Hey there.

I'm new to the mini community. I picked up an 04 a little over a month ago.
I love it. I don't post too often over here, but wanted to share what i did recently.

I wrapped my dashboard in carbon fiber fabric.

Questions everyone asks:
-Its a fiber weave fabric pressed to a black fabric backing.
-I don't know if it is real CARBON fiber. It is identical to the new m3's dry carbon finish, in look and touch.
-It's a bit strechy.
-I purchased this from a local dealer. (sort of)
-It costs about $35 a square yard.
-I used less than one square yard, including quite a few disasters.
-It adheres using 3M spray glue. "90" works best.
-I have heard it stands up to exterior use. (motorcycle seat on a daily driven, parked in the sun/rain)

To get your own, I recommend contacting NeffyWrap. (neffywrap.com)

as far as i know- they are out of stock.
EMAIL THEM THOUGH.
they will happily refer you to one of their distributors who does have it in stock.

Here's my dashboard:

any shiny spots are just sweaty finger prints, it was about 95 degrees outside when i got done.

thoughts?
