The fit and finish is excellent but not perfect.
Also they didn't send enough 3M primer for the textured plastic areas, and they didn't send enough alcohol wipes. I bought a pack of 50 wipes and used more than half of them.
I would generally recommend it, although I have not compared with others.
What I would say, however, and stand back I'm going to shout it out,

IT TOTALLY TRANSFORMS YOUR CAR.

From Bentley outside I've gone to Bentley inside.
(Actually to be honest it's quite naff compared to a Bentley or many wood-trimmed cars, but it's 100 times better than standard.)

I had to paint round the edges of some of the pieces where they didn't fully cover the trim panel. Especially the radio console. I took that piece out afterward and painted the edges of it with Humbrol 85 "Coal Black".

Thanks, i had to load your photos into Irfan viewer, then do a horizontal flip to get an idea what it would look like on my car...

BTW, is "naff" good or bad? I dont have any friends from Scotland to ask, and we don't use that word here in Brooklyn.
Thanks...
