Interior vinyl wrapping

[charliemagrath]

Looking to wrap interior panels of my car.
can’t decide on what wrap
does anyone have any suggestions?
with photos ?

I wrapped the infotainment/upper vent trim on my '16 R when I installed the larger 8" screen and bezel I previously had in my GTI.

I used 3M 2080 gloss black film to match the rest of the R trim, and it came out really good. After reading a lot of reviews, it was said that thinner wraps are much easier to work with. the 2080 series is supposed to be softer and more formable than the 1080 series, so that's what I got. I have a heat gun at home, which made the job a lot easier. The stuff gets really flexible and stretchy when you heat it up. I was able to do it by myself, but having an extra set of hands can really help if you are covering larger or awkward shaped pieces.

But if you're patient, you should be able to do it yourself. take your time, and it will come out really nice. People can't even tell my screen bezel is wrapped.

sorry for the long delay. here's a photo I snapped today (excuse the dust). The GTI plastics have a subtle texture that the R bezels don't have (they are smooth). if you look really close, you can kinda see the texture coming through the wrap, but it's not noticeable unless you are really looking for it.
