reflections off the dashboard inserts

[eygo]

we have a 13 plate auris Hybrid and the dash board has bluey tinted panels around the air vents with a brushed metal effect

when you sit in the passenger seat on a sunny day the reflections are blinding so i've used a carbon fibre wrap on these panels

to help stop the reflections below are some pictures of the panels wrapped.

wow.....how did you get it to fit so well?

it took about 20 minutes to cover the panel,i used a panel wipe to remove any polishes

& warmed the panel with a hair dryer before applying ,as you apply the sheet use your fingers to

press the sheet down and to remove any bubbles,you will find at some point you have a fold 

i.e. in the corners this is where you warm the sheet with a hair dryer and stretch the wrap & use your

finger to press it down.

for the air vent,i removed the air vent and applying hot air i pressed the wrap into the recess

once in the recess i cut a 40mm circle out of the wrap and continued to apply heat and shaped it until

i could roll the wrap over the lip to the rear of the panel.

total cost about £1.50

Nicely done! Looks like professional job!

Toyota will do a foc replacement (with plain black) for the chrome air vent trims on a T27 Avensis that reflect in the wing mirrors - I wonder if they might do similar for Auris?
