Your best bet would be to buy a £30 used set on eBay and then have someone skin it. It'll actually be super easy for whoever does the work as it'll be one coat of resin and then paint with satin lacquer.

If you're DIY friendly then it could make a pretty satisfying project for you. There's no huge skill required as you don't need to level the resin.

Dismantle the trims, key the surface, apply a base coat of resin and wait 2 hours until it's tacky, lay your carbon cloth on top and let it set for a few hours, apply a single layer of resin and let it cure for 24 hours. Then just trim the excess with a dremel and lacquer. Whilst you're there you can wrap the main panel in plain alcantara too, as you only want it to be plain you just need contact adhesive.
Hahaha you have way too much faith in me, I’ll leave it to the pros and give them my money happily
