Just stopped off at the dealer to finalise collection date (4 April) and looked at an SQ5 in showroom which had the Carbon Fibre trim and looked outstanding

Same old story, regret I didn't add the option. I suspect my first upgrade will be to get the aluminium wrapped. Used a firm in the south of England to coat some parts on my last vehicle using the Hydrographic method and will possibly use the same company again as the results were superb and very hard wearing.

I have found an article on here about removing the centre console trim but cannot find anything about removing the aluminium door trim and facia. Can anybody point me in the right direction or advise about how you remove them ?

Have u got any pics of your previous wrap jop ,would b interested to c,and details of that company plz ������

I'll try and dig some out, last job was a wood effect but the carbon is much better. Its the same company as the TV prog Wheeler Dealers featured and got to say service is second to none and the finished product is superb. The company is called Wickedcoatings located in Poole Dorset.

Got to say from experience Hydrograph coatings are superb and hold up really well if done properly. My last coating stood up very well with no chips or marking. Now on my 'to think about' list.
