scottyd Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Had a mess around with some di-noc today and managed to wrap the gear surround pretty much perfectly, pretty happy with the results. Filled with confidence I had a go at the rest of the centre console and to be honest it was a total pain in the arse. Now not sure if I should buy more material persevere or not has anyone here done the console? Also fitted a shiny new gear knob bought from EPracing Quote
spursmaddave Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 You will find the bit around the 3 gauges the hardest part To be perfectly honest I would leave it with just the gear gaiter bit done and see how you like it, I spent ages doing mine then ripped it all off after a month as I didn't like it... But then I am rather fickle Quote

P15UL T Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Hi mate, the top 3 gauges can be removed if you have a dremmel to trim the plastic welds off, might make wrapping a bit easier, ive done it before using a vinyl carbon covering hope this helps Paul Quote

I guess it's the rough surface but I'd rather not start rubbing it down incase I mess up I removed guage surrounds but didnt know the guage cup could be removed is it just glued on the frame? I'm a plastic welder so shouldn't have a problem putting them back Quote
P15UL T Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Yip you can fully dismantle it down to just the plastic frame Quote
RisingPower Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 What the, when did you get the gaiter? Quote
BulletMagnet Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 The 3M Di-Noc stuff sticks very well after heat application. You will notice how "soft" it gets with a hairdryer, don't melt it tho, once it cools, it does become quite rigid. Quote

Yeah don't go sanding anything down just give it a good clean and you will be fine Quote
