Thread: Vinyl wrap interior trim

Hi all,

Been having a bit of a look for a way to spruce up the interior of my D4 SE, and I think the next thing to do is the boring grey trim pieces.

I’ve trawled eBay for quite some time in the hope of some used piano black trim sets to come up, but nothing has come up.

I’ve seen you can buy plastic covers that stick on top with adhesive tape, but I’m not sure about them. Anyone got experience?

What I’m thinking will be the way to go is a vinyl wrap. There’s more vinyl wrap on the market than there are types of trees, so picking one is proving difficult! I don’t want the cheap red walnut look, was thinking a darker (black even?) straight grain look. Has anyone done this? I’m not sure where to buy things from locally, and with our fearless leader closing shops for the foreseeable future, I’d like to get something in the next couple of weeks while I have holidays

Keen to see what people have done!

Here’s the trims I’m talking about

I used 3M Saturn black vinyl wrap to cover the silver door pulls and the gear selector surround on the wife's Freelander 2. I got it from Supercheap and it was pretty cheap about $40 bucks.

The reason I bought it originally was that the gear selector surround in the FL2 was like chrome and it was bad for sun reflections that would shine straight in your eyes in the morning or afternoon.

It worked really well and I ended up doing the silver painted door pulls as well.

On tight curves you need to pre stretch the vinyl with a heat gun. But i was not hard and looks great.
