Oh well it wont be to everyones taste as expected but personally i like , door trims have not been done yet but presuming they are just held on with screws from the back of panel . Once the monaro is delivered ( i wish)  guess the alterations will come to a halt

honestly the black painted trim looks better than the outdated fake woody woodpecker trim

Doesn't it just?

Vauxhall 'wood' - cheap and nasty and makes a good car look naff and wannabe.
It's so unbeleivably shit, pretend, wanky, cheapskate and about as convincing as Tony Blair defending weapons of Mass Destruction.
It is utterly appaulling and what GM were thinking I don't know.

'dust has done a brilliant job of dumping mediocrity(?!) for individuality that makes his mig unique

Even the Irmscher 'Carbon' (which I have aplenty), which looks very Halfords against proper carbon trim, is a vast improvement on the shite, fake, wank, gormless GM attempt at adding 'class' to their onetime top of the range model.

Take it out and replace it with real wood - otherwise every single bit of that plastic 'wood' should be melted down and made into plastic cups for coffee dispensers in industrial estates in the middle of nowhere.

I'm with you on this one 'dust (and cem) - wood be gone

I disagree

Nice job EMD, although IMO the wood finish is classier.  As said looks GLS now 

[2boxerdogs]

No don't like it, original is best must be an age thing, like to see any car as it was meant to be.

It wont be to everyone's taste and i knew it wouldn't be , individuality is key . Good practice to remove the facia and seeing how it all comes apart and back together 

[cem_devecioglu]

from the very first day I bought this car, I never like it (plastic wood trim)..
 
if was for example dark tones of red  real mahogany probably it could be acceptable..
 
but my car mostly black inside, and those  colors and plastic feeling not for me..

[omega3000]

Its the new look black oak

Nice to see the quality conversation of this forum is maintained - struggling to expess youself or just still in your teens!???

Come on ... does the language REALLY need to descend to this???

Back on topic, ok so the VX wood is not great (perhaps the car would have costed more if they had put the efforts in to real wood trim to match the Saab 9000's) BUT, you have just made it look like a GLS. Should have saved your efforts, sold your wood to somebody that wanted it and picked up the cheapie trim for a few pennies.

[The Red Baron]

tbh i think it looks quite nice. good job done.
