What's under the wood??

I've seen a few posts around where folks have sanded back some net optic trim panels to go for a brushed alloy look, I was just wondering if it was plastic or alloy under the god awful walnut effect before I attacked it.....

Almost sure it's plastic

nope definatly metal, if your gonna take them off then be warned the little clips on the cage are fecked before the car was assembled, they'll flake as soon you go near it with a philips, tread carefully my young padaone

So u take the wood of then its a nice smootg metal

[GTi_James]

possibly but i dont think anyone has actually tried if im honest with you, most either carbon wrap or something along those lines

Dosent the r32 have metal fascia surrounds instead of the jaguar wood effect

[GTi_James]

yes it does, you'll need to do alot of sanding to show the metal on the wood effect units, can be done i suppose, i'd suggest buying a bit of trim online and trying it out on that though

Wood trim definitely does not sand down to metal like net optic.

well there you go, i do know its metal though as i have had them off

Just wrap the trim mate. Cheaper and less hassle sanding boll ocks of it
