Hi all,

Its been brought to my attention (Humbucker) that Vx produced some models with the carbon fibre effect interior trim panels.

Were they installed across the range of pre/mini and post facelift?

What panels were available?

[zirk]

MiniFace Mv6 replaces all the wooden stuff, doors, Radio Fascia, Centre Consul

[amba]

MV6 models had the sportier trim of carbon effect.Elite and CDX teneded to have the burr walnut.

Climate panel/door capings/gear shift coin tray/ash tray on Mini Facelifts,but unsure of spec on Facelifts as have never owned one.

Really posh ones had matching steering wheels but now almost a myth of the past as genuine Irmscher parts require a second mortgage now.

Facelift MV6 (Factory spec) had the Silver plastic trim (Titanium Finish, VX would have you believe) ex plod MV6's normally had the wooden finish.

So if i managed to source a complete interior carbon trim set from a mini face lift, none of it would fit a 53 plate facelift?

Failing that, it'll have to be the aluminium effect trim i suppose.

The Touring was available as pre and mini facelift.(I've got a pfl as my spare parts car.)It had an irmscher rear spoiler with integrated 3rd brake light,16" softstar alloys but no sports seats.It was below CD in spec but as previously mentioned did have carbon effect gear surround,radio surround and door trim.I hope that helps.

Thanks, was trying to work out where these Recaro Sports seats without air bags were popping up from.

Good info though

You can fit the above seats into your car as they are pictured inside a facelift car.

It'll have to be the aluminium effect trim as pfl and mini fl have different interior door cards,centre console and gear lever surround

Cool, so i'm after some pukka Recaros (see above lol) and silver trim!

Glad we have got to the bottom of it (excuse the pun)

Good luck finding a set of seats.
