Is there any chance of a how to for removing the various trim parts and application? Does the film come in anything other than carbon fibre weave? Like Matt or gloss silver or a Matt or gloss black?

sorry I should have been clearer - I'm looking for that type of film in non carbon fibre ie a plain silver (matt or gloss) or a plain black (matt or gloss), etc.,

Yes thats exactly what I want. so how do you cope with corners and the like. For example the centre console is effectively a rectangle so how do you do inside the corners - do you have small cuts to seat it correctly?

Hair dryer, stretching, small cuts and yeah, you'll get there. And then you'll think what a right PITA when you get a bubble or two...
