Trim change.

Trim Change. | Bodywork

Hi I would like to change the trim on my 2013 SL from brushed aluminum to a wood effect. Does anyone know if there is a company not to far from me (south Manchester) that could do this for me. Thanks.

If you could post your question directly rather than linking to a request elsewhere it would be appreciated…

Tut tut... you should be using this forum as your primary home... not that other one you'll get much more interesting and humorous responses here I promise

Anyway, I share your frustration, as I loath aluminum dash trims. If you want new trims I can only suggest the main deal if you want new; but I bet it will cost a fortune. The other places you can look would be Ebay, or car breakers.

An alternative might be having the Aluminium ones Hydrodipped.

Years ago someone on a Jaguar forum had his Aluminium trims Hydrodipped to a wood finish on a Jaguar XK series, and he was really pleased with them. You could also then pick your own custom wood colour shade.

Looking on google I found these:

But there are lots of other companies if you google "Hydrodipping", and I'd suggest getting a few quotes from them.

If you cannot remove and refit the trim yourself, I would suggest asking your Mercedes specialist garage to do it - or a handy friend

The metallic dash of my B200 reflects light when the sunroof is open and it's annoying - quite apart from a matt wood finish looking far better.
So I ordered a sheet of peel and stick wood veneer from The Wood Veneer Hub (they have a website) and I'll try to make a template then directly stick the veneer on (I hope.)

Thanks for those links. I did a Google search and found one not far away from me so after the Bank Holiday I'll take the car there to get some price's
