Trim Replacements

sr5959 · 06-07-2012, 03:24 PM

Anyone know where I can get the silver trim pieces around the stereo and climate controls?

I have the base model which doesn't have them, and I think this would be good cheap upgrade.

Thanks!

sr, I haven't received my car yet, but I am contemplating swapping out my aluminum trim for anthracite... Perhaps i'll have a set to sell in a couple of months...

Why not order the m sport trim with carbon fiber.

U'll need to replace the control panels for both the a/c & stereo if u want the chrome. It's not cheap.

Not worth your $$$...

I'm with you on this, i Like the chrome look especially offset with my black interior. I think it would look nice.

Nice, let me know I would be interested in buying those from you! And if anyone upgraded their Sport wheels I'm looking to replace my 17s with those...

Really? In that case this mod wouldn't be worthwhile.

Is this the part you are referring to:

In the baseline this is normally black, but dealer charged EUR 60,00 to replace it.

Changing that costs little, but if u want chrome around the ends of the HVAC panel & cd panel then it'll cost u.

Luxury, Sport & Modern Lines also have chrome surrounds on the sides of both the HVAC & radio panels. They're black on the basic car.

Actually I don't really like that big U-shape chrome piece, I wanted the silver trims around HVAC and radio, really should've ordered the Sport. Only thing is I find the standard car already very low and tricky to get in/out, Sport would be worse as it's 10mm lower...

Yep, I hated it. Guess we all have our own opinions on what looks good.
