I asked this the other day to the guy that details my cars. He said probably easier to wrap it in CF, but we didn't get any further.

I have a few marks on mine where a baby seat has been, and one or two where a kids feet have obviously been touching so I would definately be interested in how you would 'clean' or retouch the black plastic.

there must be a product or a company that can refurb plastic, similar to dashboard plastic i guess :smokin:

I'll ask as he definately mentioned something about it getting 'fixed' (there's a tiny crack where it folds over) and 'painted'...

Yeah, I suspect mine had a baby seat in at some stage. Two very small marks.

Autoglym Rubber and Dash Cleaner makes it less obvious, but this isn't a fix.

I also don't want to go down the chav route, so I'd be interested in refurb too!

Ive repaired a few dash boards, glove boxes etc,

Heat gently the scratched/damaged area, then iron it out till smooth. Some repairs involved a spray over, possibly full back respray..

TBH most on here get carbon window surrounds switch, carbon dash etc to match the centre console. I personally dont like it but each to their own, A seat back wrapped in carbon might look ok, dont think it would be chavvy tbh. But ive yet to see one so cant pass judgement.

I thought it would look OK until I got saw some of the weave and texture. Problem is, all the carbon has what looks like a lacquer topcoat, and all 'stick on' CF is matt finish, so it would stick out quite a bit.

Think it's more to do with the back seat plastic surrounds though, rather than the back of the front seats (although mine do have a few small marks).

Lacquer it over the top to get desired effect.

Yea possibly, definately consider the seats (they should be bloody carbon anyway!)

I'll go talk to Lap Tab. I've just spent £300 quid getting some Porsche split rims done, so they should be responsive.

Any tips for repairing the plastic trim on the rear seats ?

Just scratches where a baby seat has been fitted

Cheers

Me too, it was a Porsche seat, I think it was annoyed at how good the CSL is.

Carbon and resin then 2 pack clear coat would look fantastic on the back of the csl seats i never did mine as they were replaced by warranty so minted
if they had marks on them i would have done them in carbon :thumbs:

I can do this if any one wants it done

This was the seat back i did
