Hydro carbon dipping is the new thing on the street for interior pieces. Not a substitute for proper carbon fibre pieces, but a better option than wrapping IMO.

I think you missed Option 3. I would not do vinyl wrap or pay the extortionate price for them carbon bits. What I would do is simply remove the trim bits and send them off to be Hydro Dipped in carbon. Hydro Dipping/Graphics looks very real at a fraction of the cost of a genuine carbon item. Plenty of places offer a good service and fast turnaround. HTH

Mate of mine had his center console dipped changed from standard wood to carbon effect, really nice job.
The company which he chose was wicked coatings. How ever the process requires paint undercoat the effect then lacquer so if you don't like the finish you can't just peel it off as you can with the vinyl wrap !!!

Either way before and after pic's would be nice . Good luck with which ever route you take.

There is a place in Caerphilly in South Wales called Aquagraphix, you can contact them on Facebook and see examples of their work.

They have had great reviews. I will be looking to get by trim dipped some time in the future.

I had a quote for the dash trim in my Mk4 golf gti to be dipped with carbon effect, thats the heater/stereo surround, door pulls, heater surrounds etc and they only wanted £100 which is a bargain I think.

I'll drop them a message to see how much it would be for the E class and let you know

Bear in mind how a potential buyer may see it.

Personally think interior carbon has had it's day, particularly given the number of Corsas etc that have it, no one falls for it being a lightweight performance aid

Wrap it in a wacky colour and change it when you get bored, peel it all off come sale time. White looks good in white or black cars with black interior ...as long as it doesn't have off-white woodgrain printed into it like BMW do now!

Agree the carbon interior is a bit boy racer for my taste.
The hydro dipping is pretty cool but its no subsitute for real carbon and you can tell the difference. However its horses for courses I suppose

Putting fake CF on or in a car reminds me of the Chrysler C300 (think that's the right model, the big squarish saloon) taxi in Newmarket that's adorned with Bentley badges, bonnet, boot and wheel centres (pity about the tax disc!!), in that however well you do it, it's not the real thing.

Having said that, in my past I have bought and worn a Malaysian market stall "Rolex" watch.........

Hydro dipping is excellent if done properly. Sure it's not real carbon fibre, but it looks almost indistinguishable from the real thing if done right.

I have had some bits done at Wicked Coatings and cannot recommend them enough! The finish is perfect every time.

looking at the stuff from CKS thats not going to be pure carbon as they want you to return your interior pieces back them after receiving your new ones. That to me says they are just covered in carbon.
