Got rid of the wood.
 

I took out the Vavona wood trims and replaced them with these. What do you think?

looks just like my car's trim. There's nothing fancy about this look really, b/c as you probably may already know, that fake carbon fiber trim came stock on all the 528 w/ sport pkg.

I want that trim sooooooo bad!

It's technical graphite right?

:thumbup: looks great!

It is.

Much better than Vavona wood trims.

I dig it.. Blends well with the car

You grey interior looks great with the new trim. I have a 02 525 with Sand Beige trim that needs some of it replaced. Are you interested in getting rid of the Vavona and sending it to a good home?

man, i must need new glasses...b/c i don't see how that cheap azzz black trim looks better than wood?

Looks really good. :thumbup:

Your glasses is fine. Personal reference: wood trim doesn't go well with gray interior.
Wanna trade yours for Vavona wood? ;)

Makes a boring German interior even more boring, but that's just me; I also find monochrome tail lights boring.

I think it looks good.

I have a beige interior on my 530i with the Vavona wood trim which has some minor cracking going on, I would like to replace it at some point but don't see many other trims that would go well with beige interior and can't seem to find a decent price.

Do you guys know of any good combos with beige and any reputable places to get it for a decent price?

I always prefer to have wood....

Funny thing. For me the wood is what makes this car special. It reminds me of this story:

But That's Just Me!:)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA ahhhahh I LOLed long and hard at that one. Is that story really real?

BTW, digging the interior upgrade tmv. Wish I had some brushed aluminum in my interior.

TMV,
I really like the graphite trim with you car's interior...!
It works very well together IMO.

Tiko,
I would look in the classifieds for some used trim for-sale.
However, sometimes wood trims from another car does not match completely.

Thanks!
Jason

Thanks guys. It's my car and I'm happy with the new trim.

Weird reminder.

love it. don't like my wood at all.

almost looks like what i have :dunno: did you replace factory or wrap with 3m?

Never underestimate the value and benefit of a good wood.

Why does this whole chain sound like a Cialis commercial ? :-)

Hey fortunateson I have a set of vavona. Brand new.

It's not wrapped. It's Technical Graphite trim.

Vavona looks nice on black interiors.

Plus old guys like to sport wood.

same one i have, looks great :thumbup:
