Huh? What size piece are we talking.
If you unroll a £30 fishing rod there is a fair amount there.
Or my £40 carbon handlebars.
It seems to be only expensive on things are arn't mass produced (like anything) but with carbon it's much higher.
I am talking about the full cost as well. Can you give me a link to the item?
Sorry but I don't follow you what bit ("the bit that curves over the dash/tacho binicle") do you mean ?
Just going on the price of little bits of carbon fibre trim i have seen on the net.... I think most people think Carbon Fibre and think $$$$$$ and Luxury....
The bit that covers the dash, the curved shaped piece.... if i was to get the kit for my FR i would want all the pale blueish bits covered and that HUGE piece is missing from the kit unfortunately....
Still think it would look pretty good though, if it did include the sunscreen bit in the kit.... I would be tempted to part with some of my hard earned if it did
I agree.
But the issue of whether the buttons would end up recessed would put me off.
If the carbon is so thin that the buttons arn't recessed and the tape/glue is good then it's never going to come off with destroying it.
Before I bought the Leon I'd always planned to get something made up in brushed aluminium. But I never got round to it! The stereo and heater would be ok, it was just the 'binnacle' that was the problem.

I reckon if its 3M stuff it would stick like **** to a blanket, but with the right removal liquid you could get it all off... there stuff is top notch in my experience... agree about the recess thing though it would have to be pretty thin to look any good.... also would have to fit my satnav too!!!!
I agree. And if you look at the photo's originally posted, it looks as if the edge profile is a curved bevel, which makes me think that these are quite thick... They may be 'real' carbon fibre but it looks as if they have a thick vinyl covering...
I don't think these are any different to the vinyl coverings of yesteryear other than they may now have genuine carbon fibre as opposed to some dodgy print...
Perhaps the OP could photograph them a bit better - without a flash... a comment on the thickness. Its a lot of money to splurge for somethign that may look terrible...

bloody hell! do they hand make the leon where you are? No news or pictures or details for thickness etc etc?
jdearden as you said it, not even if it was hand made would have taken that long! I still haven't taken delivery of my car (ordered it on 30th of June). I've learned that my car will be manufactured in week 38 of the year, so it will be built approximately between 15th and 19th of September, so hopefully I'll get it in mid October. If you are eager to see the carbon trims, imagine how eager I am to see my car

I really do feel for you Ares! Well I hope it arrives soon for you! You're right, even we other forum members are eagerly anticipating the arrival of your car so we can see the carbon! I'm sure the car will be worth the wait. All the best
