DBM,

REalOEM has "Aluminium" trim listed for your car - as well as Alu Cube

dbm,

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, it will be a straight swap, although you will have to buy door handles and a few fixing pins if you have wood trim at the moment. Note also that a lot of cars with Aluminium trim just have plain plastic panels (rather than Aluminium finish) under the CD player and in the rear console. This varies depending on the market, but you will be able to get panels easily.

Yes, a thin wood veneer over a plastic backing for fitting...
