OK, thanks Colin. I just put it under parts as it was a part replacement, However, it no longer appears when I refresh "new posts" ? Is that section not included in the sweep?

I can remove and replace your existing Dash and Centre console with a High Gloss Black version, emulating the OEM Piano Black option.

The deal is that for £250, I will :-
- Supply the 3 new gloss black parts (Main Dash, Headlight switch surround and appropriate centre console)
- Remove your exisiting trim and install the replacement black parts
- I retain your old trim. (as replacement stock)

Whilst the dashboards parts are all the same, there are many combinations of Centre Console as some have no Sport or Airbag button at all, some have one (or the other) and some have both. They also vary at the back around the Handbrake as some have leather padding and some dont, so it's important to let me know which model you have so that I can ensure I have one here painted & ready.

So, from this:

to this:- Completed:

I usually do jobs on a Saturday or Sunday morning and estimate that the job will take about 5 hours in total, but if I can speed this up, I will reduce the future cost.
I have a double garage in which to do this whatever the weather and am located in North Bristol, right by the M4/M5 Interchange, 5 minutes from The Shopping Mall at Cribbs Causeway, so if you want to lose yourself for a few hours, we can drop you (and a partner) there and pick you up when the cars ready, as we have done with a few people whose Roof motors I have relocated.

Just to clarify, I am not supplying OEM Piano Black, but a high gloss black lacquered finish, professionally applied by a car body shop, on what would previously have been an aluminium trim, but it looks equally has good.

Just PM me if any your interested or have any questions.
Alan

I did this myself about 18 months ago as a personal challenge to get rid of the wood. I had never attempted anything like it before and I estimate it took me 12-14 hrs spread over a few days (one clip took forever). It does require a lot of trim to be removed. My local body shop charged me £80 for spraying.

To get a feel for the amount of work involved read my thread. Incidentally, BMW quoted me £1000 for the 3 trim parts in piano black alone, I nearly fell off my chair!!
