Sundamaged Ski slope

[Sump]

What are my options for the wood that is sun damaged? It looks dull and faded in the Db9!

Assuming it is a natural wood finish, I would approach a furniture restorer for a quote to see how it compares with a new or used replacement.

My opinion would be though that if it has happened once and I was not going to cover it to protect it in the future, I would change all the wood trims for black, silver or carbon.

I have invested pitifully little in a big silver sunvisor for the windscreen - just protecting the leather alone seems to make sense from drying and cracking...

Heres a picture. Is this walnut or mahogany?

Its walnut.
I had same issue of sun fade [well, not THAT bad ] on my walnut ski slope - sent panel to Madera Concepts In CA. They did an absolutely excellent job refurbishing it like new, and a quick turnaround (one week). I highly recommend them. Price etc on their web site, removing the panel was trivial - buy a cheap set of trim removal tools and watch the much linked youtube video...

Bought some Pinao gloss instead!
