Interior Trim change

Post by Astrosquirrel » Thu Mar 24, 2022 5:22 pm

Since day one of ownership I'd expressed my dislike for the aluminium trim, so I made sure to be quick about it and did it - 10 years later.

Out with the old Alu
In with the new Carbon


Pics of before, during, after.
WDYT?

Nice one. It does look really good.
Personally I like my ally trim but that’s just me.
It’s one of those personal choice items.
Every one of us will have our own preference.
The main thing is that you like changes.

Having expanded the photo for a closer look.
I really do like the carbon fibre.

Aluminium trim looks really good but it's tragic that a lot of the trim is hard black plastic, like the gear lever surround trim.

That's the main reason I always wanted to be rid of it.
