Hi guys,
I've loved the piano-black with red accent combo ever since I had it on my previous 328i sportsline.
Even though my current bimmer came with alcantara dash + carbon fiber accent (courtesy the previous owner), I still preferred the piano black + red.
Didn't want to spring the $$ for new dash panels, and didn't feel right parting with the expensive alcantara/cf.
So I made a compromise...kept the alcantara, but vinyl wrapped the cf accents. It came out quite well. Also the cf backing gives the vinyl a nice texture, somewhat like a 'red carbon' fiber. Full job from removing the panels to wrapping the vinyl and refitting the panels took just under 1.5 hours.
