Styling inspiration
Hi all
im a new member to the ford scene and im looking for some styling advice.
i have the (red) 1.6 si and the dash and plastics are quite dull so i was thinking about putting some black carbon film over some of the dash parts / trim.
because i have the fin seats in mine, i was also considering puttin the film on the back of the drivers seat and the passenger seat because they have the plastic back type things.
tbh i dont really know what i want i just need a bit of inspiration from you all to get my car lookin better then worse.
plaese post some pics so i can get some idea's.
thaks all! matt.

Just clean it up mate. Carbon film only ever looks like cheap film. Doing large areas like seat backs will look terrible. What sort of look do you want to achieve?
Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience

dont use carbon film mate, as Oranoco said it will look cheap and tacky. if you want to revamp your dash, you could try spraying certain parts in a different colour, perhaps the same as the outside of you motor.
as for looks, what exactly are you going for, the subtle look, the rally look, the big in your face jap look??
interior ideas, all i can say is that maybe add an aftermarket steering wheel, gear knob and trim, handbrake and trim, floor mats, colour code some dash panels and trims, and if your wallet can stretch to it, some nice bucket seats.
as for the exterior, i cant realy say anything untill you give us a rough idea of what you like???
hope this helps
