I fancy a change and rather than fork out for a new set or trawl fleebay I thought I would see if anyone fancied a swap!  :)

I have silver aluminium trim pieces which are all completely unmarked. Looking for piano black or possibly dark wood trim.

Let me know if interested.  ;)

Have considered doing a CF wrap the same as Sanj did here http://xdrivers.co.uk/forum/https://xdrivers.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27.msg25911#msg25911 but still not sure.  :blink:


Didn't have an image of my interior but this is exactly the same (except the wheel being on the wrong side!)

I fancied the piano black aswell.

I have considered painting mine, but iv been told the centre console is a pain to remove.

Not too much of a pain - don't let that hold you back!

Ill wait for the nicer weather and give it a go.

Do you know if there is any guides to removing the console knocking about?

Thanks in advance.

This will give you a heads up on the consol. Not a big job at all....

Think I read in another thread that you have the light wood trim MrMaloo?

Not for me thanks.  ;)

So... still no one wanting a change from their piano black trim??  ::)

Cosmos Black high gloss as it was called was only available on the pre-facelift e53's and not a very common option at that. It was never an option on LCi e53's.

Given that pre-face vehicles are 10 years old at the newest the chances of finding a set in nice condition is unlikely, this trim scratches very easily.

You will probably find it cheaper and quicker to either wrap or respray your current trims  ;)

I watched an episode of Wheeler Dealers where they had the trim from a L322 Range Rover hydrographic dip coated. Very impressive results and a good price. It was done by www.wickedcoatings.co.uk
