I took all my woodtrim out and replaced it with OEM black trim however i quickly realised you cannot buy the two side strips anywhere so i sanded them back and sprayed them up :)

Mine used to be wood. I need some thinner two sided tape for the thin vertical strips to sit flush but this is mine  :smiley:

Not being rude but after seeing this I'm glad I bought proper aluminium from an anni! That does not look good at all

Show me the proper stuff and I will judge ha ha. But for £5 I'm happy as the pictures don't show how much it looks like brushed ali!

Don't know why it looks so crap maybe just the light? I know I do mate but the centre console was scabby as hell so a new one will be ordered if I end up keeping the car as sircumstances may change soon?! :/
