Important things steering wheels, I hate shiny ones as they ruin the feel of a car, that looks to have brightened up the interior a treat.

Yep, need to get some new trim (carbon) and it should look much better smile

Just got rid of any scuffs on the seats too so they look great smile

Yes carbon really does lift the cabin, I had the same trim as yours on my e46, I got this trim for the e92.

Yeah, individual contrasting stitching with palladium inserts that and the carbon for the dash/console/rear console and doors.

I think yours would look great with a similar carbon set up.

Do you know if you can get the same affect carbon as yours? glossy rather than dull?

Yeah you want glossy:

These guys, I've had spacers off them before, decent outfit. (scroll to the bottom for the trim)

Ha! No I forgot to mention that! Wrapping won't give you the deep glossy look though and the lovely 3D weave.

Thats looks very good, although the Audi pictures look like an S6 which has the carbon trim as standard, but at that price it's worth a go.
