The issue is on the trim surrounding the shifter, on the edges by the leather the lacquer appears to have cracked and I have a few ugly crack lines appearing. This must be due to the sun temperature but it was there when I bought the car.
It appears that replacing the part will only result in the same thing occurring again, so I was researching some alternatives, one of which is to use either 3M carbon or 5D4D (glossy carbon weave) to wrap the silver parts of the interior.
The 5D4D is a new product which appears almost exactly as real carbon, without spending £2k which I would much rather put toward a Quaife and H&R springs!
So my questions are:-
- Has anyone pulled apart their E89 trim?
- If so, what trim tools did you use?
- Did you prepare with some spare interior clips in case you broke any?
