way cooler, and you lost the airfreshner :-)

how were you bale to remove the trim? This is pretty much what i want to do to mine..I hate the wood trim on my car

i had the trim removed on my 335, and it was all done in 5 minutes believe it or not, with a little trim removal tool by prying around various points. i'm guessing same goes for this car.

on mine, rather than replace the whole trim, i went the cheaper route and wrapped the trim with carbon fiber fabric, and it looks pretty good actually for $200!

It took a couple of hours as the door cards had to be removed completely for the door trims to be replaced

Hi there, i could not view the pic but did you replace your wood trim with the alum cube one entirely? IS it a straight plug and play thing or you need to get a new set of clips of the alu cube trim to fit back into your car especially the door handle side (assuming its pre lci). Many thanks.

Someone did it for me so do not know exactly what he did, but it did take some time!

thanks...

Looks like yours is pre lci. Lci cars don't have that piece on passenger door handle and all the pieces look the same as in my 335 so I'd still bet it isn't too hard for lci cars. :)

That looks good actually.

We originally wanted the Alu Cube, but the car we ended up with had the wood. We've grown used to it over the years, but I do prefer the look of the metal - it really lightens the cabin and makes it look far more modern.

How much did it cost - if you don't mind me asking?
