    Veneer Trim Kit D4

    G'day

    I purchased a 2013 D4 with a trim kit already installed in the car. I thought the trim kit would grow on me but has not and will not. The LR parts dept do not even list this to purchase a replacement. What are my options to replace. The only thing I can come up with is to remove and re-paint at this stage. The trim kit consists of 7 pieces. Front and rear door inserts, under touch screen, ash tray door and 4WD control surround.

    Any suggestions most welcome.
    Cheers,
    Gav.

    Hi Baz,

    The wood grain is an option. I have grand ivory. Looks good on a grand piano, not so much in D4 cockpit.

    What about a body trimmer, speak to one of these guys, they might be able to help.

    I think a dealer would just replace the whole part and charge you an arm and a leg in the process, I think a motor body trimmer may be able to help.

    Oh and welcome to the forum

    Cheers Baz.

    My two bobs worth!

    I reckon they must have the parts available. I have had my drivers door interior panel replaced under warranty and I am sure if there is a problem with a bit of interior trim they would be able to replace it, therefore, parts should/must be available?? Pestering your dealer to ring LR and not just look on the parts catalogue might help.

    That said, make sure you have a seat with you to rest on once they give you a price!

    Not sure if any of the Yankee trim sites have got into LR4 trim as yet but that may be worth a try?

    You can source all of these items if you know the part numbers. Your best option would probably be to contact one of the suppliers in the UK directly and tell them what you want and they will pull it together for you. It will be a lot cheaper too. Try any of these:

    Land Rover Parts | Range Rover Spares - Accessories | Paddock ==> this is a dealer parts shop
    Rimmer Brothers - Triumph Car Parts, MG Rover Car Parts, and Land Rover Car Parts and Spares
    Home > Britcar (UK) Ltd
    Famous Four - Independent Land Rover Parts, Accessories, Sales & Servicing Specialist - Land Rover Parts, Land Rover Accessories, Land Rover Vehicle Sales, Servicing & Repair

    There are many more.
    Cheers,

    Sean

    The big question is, what are you looking at changing it to?

    There are a couple of options:

    Immersion Dipping

    Repaint

    Swap with someone that has what you want, and you have what they want...

    Even vinyl wrapping would work.

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    I pulled the console while installing trailer brakes. Nothingn better than pulling apart a brand new car just to have a look. The parts will not be cheap as the venner is glued onto the assembly underneath .

    Painting would be a fraction of the cost and the easiest solution. Swapping sounds good until you think about stripping two cars instead of one, and getting same model on the same place.

    Cheers
