I tried these on today and am still unsure if they are appropriate. I suppose they will be OK as long as I don't wear any more, but it's a slippery slope.

In my opinion, it looks fine.

Proven performance upgrade (do you remember how much of a difference the go faster stripes made)
They seem nice, in my opinion.

I have one more for the gear knob surround, and that's definitely it! However, I'll probably hold off on fitting it until Monday, when the car will have its new suspension, steering wheel, and six other parts to be installed.

Although they appear a little too glossy to be genuine carbon fibre, the pieces themselves were priced between fifteen and twenty pounds each, and they appear to be of good quality, being thick and "stuck" effectively. Thank you for the feedback; I will now depart.

Admitted defeat and had the last (final, I say!) piece attached to the gear surround after upgrading the gear knob and swapping out the slick steering wheel for this alcantara/perforated one. At least the inside is taken care of now; however, the AMG floor mats are 17 years old and could use a replacement.
