Hi Everyone,

My name is Ashley. I am new to the forum and DB7 i6 ownership so please forgive and redirect me if this topic has already been covered.

I was just wondering if anyone has modified the interior of their DB7? For example I'm not that keen of the look of the wood trim and was thinking about changing it. Problem is that an aluminum trim set costs over £2000. That's a lot of money for a few bits of trim!

Would it be a crime worthy of the death penalty if I were to remove the trim and have it colour coded, thus giving the interior a much more 'today' look? I realise this is a matter of personal preference but what are your opinions, do you think this would affect the resale of the car in any way? Has anyone else done this or made other interior modifications?

I look forward to your replies.

Thanks Mark. I know they are not ignoring me. I will patiently wait smile

Chiltern was were I got the figure of £2100 for the Ali trim. I was thinking of having my bodyshop people colour code what's already there. I can get a lot of colour coding done for £2100!

Thank you all for your replys so far. Much appreciated.

Keep them coming please. Anyone already done something similar?

Also does anyone know how to remove the wood trim from the dash, centre console and doors?

Thank everyone for your suggestions so far.

Rick, some instructions would be very handy, thank you. Also if you could tell me the name of such a specialist I'll check that out too.

Vinyl wrap could be an option but I think where there are holes for the buttons etc to push through on the centre console it could be difficult to get a good finish. Unless you know better?

Please keep your replies coming. Preferably positive ones.

I've been thinking about this while taking note of all your helpful suggestions, and thank you all for those.

Vinyl wrap would seem to be the way forward purley because the finish would be superb, and also because it is completely removable.

Luckily there is a chap near my area who can do this, however I need to remove the trim first. Can anyone tell me how the strip that runs along the dash is removed please?
