Prefer original, but if you like it that's all that matters.

All opinions appreciated - can't make my mind up, it looks a little darker in real life but I was thinking it would actually look a lot better much lighter - like a platinum gold colour.

I have one car with standard gloss wood, one with MV6 silver (although you could hardly describe the MV6 trim as star silver, it's much darker) and was looking to do something different with this car (Black car with black / anthracite interior), I've seen cars which have been trim wrapped but it always seems to damage easily and struggles to stretch and fit in the handbrake recess, I also priced up the water transfer option from 'Wicked Coatings' (As seen on Wheeler Dealers) but that was £225 to do the lot - transmission tunnel, ashtray, centre console and four door trims.......

So thought I should at least have a dabble with painting and see what a hash I can make of it!

Your choice,just because it's different doesn't mean that the purists are right :P  and yes Chris the grill is staying,as I like it more and more each day and if people hate it then I just like it even more :P ;D Actually I might even try a gold one :P

Not sure I'm 50/50, But if you like it then that's all that matters.. It's better than the fake wood that's for sure.  :y

Piano black would be my choice if I could be bothered to paint the fake plastic wood  ;D..

GET OUT. Go on. Leave. And think about what you've done.    :)

Putting Fraud paint on a Vx. Disgraceful  ;D

In my opinion it's a near miss.  I can see where you were going, but it's not my bag.  Try metallic anthacite for mor winz.

Yep done the door trims (well, just need to buy more lacquer to finish them off 100%) but wasn't going to take the door cards off to swap the trims over until I could decide if I liked it or not!

One thing is for certain, I won't be re-fitting any fake wood trims, one car with fake wood is enough!
