Walnut trim FL
« on: 11 February 2014, 16:57:07 »

Just wondering is there any other trim available besides walnut just fancy a change.

I have just today changed from the fake walnut trim in my Elite to MV6 titanium interior :)

Looks 100 times better than the walnut.... might be down to my age that though  ;D

I was going to spray the walnut as long as I could get hold of a spare interior to spray but found an MV6 in a breakers and removed the titanium trims... including centre dash surround and gearstick surround too.....

Plod/ GLS had plain black plastic, MV6 as mentioned had the titanium effect.

I got sick of the walnut so sprayed mine metallic black, it looked OK so when I get chance I'm going to re-do it properly, using strange things like masking tape and wet and dry paper... :y

I think my problem is, I went from a Vectra B GSi replica to a 'grown up' car and didn't really take the the fake walnut. I much preffered the titanium colour in my Vectra and was going to respray the walnut, but I happened upon a MV6 in a breakers and removed the intrior trims, saved me a job spraying :) I also removed the full and complete Irmscher bodykit that was on the car too, along with the genuine Irmy front chrome grille too :) :y so that will all be painted to match the car (persia red/brown) when I get hold of a bodyshop....

Wouldn't mind the MV6 sliver trim in the Elite either to be honest with the car being a dark colour and black leather, Fake wood doesn't do a lot for it tbh.

could always try something like this :

I have seen hydro coated wheels before and it looks awesome. they can apparently coat anything hard (snigger), worth a look for something different I suppose if you can remove all the walnut stuff

Did think of that as I had carbon effect in last omega and looked good :y

I think I saw them on wheeler dealers once

You can just as easily recover the fabric/leather panels on the door cards in a shade that either contrasts with the interior or matches the bodywork... think Rubens Red body with Burgundy door panels, or light grey alcantara on black panels :y
