Full disclosure I did make one scratch on the silver trim but I would defy anyone but me to find it and if you do it properly as in the video you are never cutting into the trim just running the knife along it.

I used this.
3M Di-NOC CA-421 Carbon Fibre Black Vinyl Wrap genuine 3M cut to size | eBay
tbh the whole idea inc video and specific vinyl came from someone else on this forum. can't remember who now but thanks again btw
the piece I bought was 30x120 which big enough to do all 3 parts + the strip at the top and have enough left to re-do one part again if necessary.
I think any of the 3M Di-NOC or 1080 stuff is fine. There are many others out there much cheaper but you do get what you pay for the 3M seems to be the gold standard. There did not seem much point skimping given what the car cost
I also bought this kit:
Car Wrap Vinyl Tools 6 Film Wrapping Carbon Fibre 3M Squeegee Safety Razor UK 6937913936109 | eBay
The cutter was nice but not really necessary. The knife was very good but any small craft knife would have done. The "squeegees" were a waste of time. too thick to get into the gaps and did not really need to do any smoothing on the surface. To get the vinyl into the gaps at the edge and around the cup holder before cutting I found a credit card much better.

yeah me too... I was all for getting the wrap before I had the car, as well as a screen protector and those little door button decals. Didn't get any of them and realised I don't need any. Centre console stays fine for us as does screen and no one has attempted to use the door levers.
Just fitted mudflaps and rubber seals to reduce noise. Only did that today so jury is out on those at the mo... Other than that, the best thing I've bought is a wireless charger off ebay which is super duper.

I got mine from EV wraps in the US... fitted in about 15 mins this morning. Looks great and the pre cut parts and YouTube video to follow made it super easy... highly recommend their wraps

I'm tempted by the door seals to help keep the doors and sills cleaner but not sure it would stick as the car is ceramic coated?
It’ll still stick...
When I had my last car ceramic coated they took all the badges and number plates off first. The badges were re fixed, and even though the plates were only stuck on with a couple of 3M sticky strips, they were almost impossible to remove when I changed the reg 3 years later.

Anybody knows where I can get a tray for the storage space under the boot floor? Tempted to keep wet stuff in there (my OneWheel for example, it fits perfectly)

sure John - I bought all three of these, really happy with them for the price. They do come folded up and on first opening they look like the creases will never come out - all you
Need to do is run a hairdryer over them for a minute or two and the creases just fall out

£120! Jeez.
This one’s perfect for the job and a quarter of the price:

edit - I’ve had it in my M3P a week and it works really well.
Abstract Ocean carbon door sills and AliExpress cup holder inserts.
I bought these but the bottom piece (in your photo) doesn’t fit either the frunk or the boot storage compartment. It’s not even a close fit. Not really bothered for the price but just warning others in case they’re thinking of buying.
I'm sure it will be absolutely fine in the long run. I am a bit paranoid however as I once paid for a "decent" make of in-car charger and several months later got a recall notice as it was potentially causing vehicle fires. I doubt you will ever get a recall notice from "VXDAS" who are based in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China according to their Amazon profile. I would be amazed if it has any form of safety certification either, so I reckon I will probably pay the extra for the proper Tesla or Jeda version.
I’ve tried this one and the Jeda one and neither of them work with a phone in a case. I use the Quad Lock case and just doesn’t charge or sit in the tray.
The Tesla Wireless Charger comes with a better base that works with phones in cases and charges the phone too. . Very happy.

works perfectly with my case on, I have a thick Spiegen case (below) and the phone never comes out....
