Anyone converted black window surround trim to chrome?

[nickv8]

As the subject, really.

Would be for 2015 Vantage which is available but has black trim for side windows.

Not a wrap, and replace with genuine AM trim.

Anyone done this (or vice versa) and have a rough idea of cost?

Thanks!

Not sure on cost of parts, check out Scuderia Parts as they have all the trim listed. It’s a fairly straightforward DIY job as I took mine off to get them polished. There’s a rubber seal on the trim where it sits against the body so it’s worth checking that the new trim comes with this as I had to buy some adhesive tape to replace mine.

Thanks BigMig for the suggestion. Found this...

So.......... around £500 (inc VAT) per side. Now, let me rethink my “no wrap” comment

I asked Works about doing this on my Roadster..........over £1900. More for a coupe obviously.

Needless to say I didn't bother.

Dropped you a PM.

You like shiny window trims.
So many owners now like the all black look.
I was beginning to think, that I might be the last who prefers bright trim and silver wheels.

I vote you for president.

I’m glad you mentioned the wheels too. Yep - they should be silver. Not badger silver/black, matt black or in any other way Darth Vader inspired.

Mind, gun metal is acceptable.

I have set down the standards and decorum now without being opinionated

Oh - and don’t get me started on black on black on black interiors...

OK, I lay off the iPad as I’m ranting again.

Silver wheels all the way - unless you’re after the “I’ve lost the plastic wheel trim off my steel wheels” look

I’m not embarrassed to stand up and be counted

My theory is that this - false - impression is created by the fact that we don´t post as many pictures as those "younger" owners

Less of the "young", if you please
