Will this Wood Grain Vinyl Wrap work as a Bamboo Anthracite Trim alternative?

Been wanting to wrap my aluminum trim with my coral red seats but didn't want to wrap it gloss black. I really wanted the bamboo anthracite trim but its hard to find. Thought I would look for a vinyl wrap thats similar to the anthracite and i stumbled upon this.

I haven't seen the trim in person so I'm only judging from pictures I've seen online. Lmk what you guys think!

Got to admit in that trim picture it looks good, better than the product shot suggests. I'm a sucker for brushed metal, but I could definitely live with that.

Yea, TBH i think they just did a bad job wrapping. You could see in the cracks of the trim and so forth. The e90/91/92/93 example you posted looks way better.

Anything is better than the wood. However I really don't like the faux leather choice... that dark wood was money! The faux leather has no hard finish contrast between materials. Its gonna look mushy and mismatched. At least gloss black would have given you a hard finish contrast. Aluminum would have looked great too. In any case, a wrap is a real easy fix. My only problem with the wrap is that when I had in my M5 the edges would get funky from season to season since we have harsh weather. I had my wagon's trim painted in Titanium Silver gloss BTW.

Good luck and don't stretch the material too much it's patterned so if you heat and stretch it too much you'll end up with an uneven set of lines. I reckon it'll be classy though.

its faux wood. i have coral red interior so I wanted to go with something darker but also with some texture as well. My initial choice was the gloss black but there was not much texture so thats why I decided to go with the faux wood instead. thanks for the insight guys, ill post pictures when its done. most likely will work on it this weekend.
