Glossy Carbon Fiber Interior Trim?

VR-Tech · 02-23-2017, 09:36 PM

I have a MG 17' M2 and its a great little car.

But...there are something that I will like to change. I do miss the interior quality of my old M4, especially the glossy carbon Fiber trim. I had them installed on my old e46 M3, and E92.

The stock ones from the m2 are OK, but they are not really to my liking. So I wonder if any aftermarket company is making them?

Lightweight from Germany makes full wet carbon kit for F87.

You couldn't just remove your trim and have a shop shoot a few coats of high gloss clear on it? Probably cheaper and keep OEM parts.

Definitely pricey. Will have to wait till more companies jump in

I want to keep all stock components for when i sell the car in the future

The glossy does not look good on the M2...someone else installed it (I wish I could find that thread) and it just looked really weird.

VR-Tech · 02-24-2017, 10:39 AM

Was it the lightweight one or another aftermarket?

I wish BMW offered the option for dry carbon.

Doesn't the m2 come with dry carbon trim?

ryem3 · 02-25-2017, 07:26 PM

DB Carbon wanted to make some for me. I'm on the fence. It's just wrapped stock parts and always very expensive. You can check out there catalog for the m4. I did a bunch of stuff with them on my Porsche turbo and was very happy.

VR-Tech · 02-25-2017, 11:20 PM

Maybe i should make a prototype

Well, that's great.

The carbon fiber trim
In corvette is HIDEOUS, looks the same as the civic si's.

I really want the CF in M4 or the STI in m2...any updates on this?

RD85 · 12-02-2017, 06:36 PM

What about wrapping the oem in glossy clear? Then you can just remove it when you sell. Not sure if it would look the same, but maybe? Trying that first would be cheap.
