Hi, i have seen a number of saxo's (some yday at FCS07) with a silver interior trim around the air vents and the centre console...

Can i buy the trim or do i need to paint my existing trim?

If so please tell me either where to buy the trim or which paint to use and maybe a quick guide on how to obtain a perfect finish :-D

thanks everyone

just spray them yourself mate its not hard, ive done mine about 3 or 4 times now, hardest part is getting the cig lighter out of the centre console and the top vent is a bit fiddly, just note how it comes out

mine is icelandic grey, thats the car colour, had the same colour on the vents etc, was rover zircon blue which i used about 4 year ago as that was the only colour close to it and couldnt be arsed getting it mixed up, anyway its now rover charcoal grey and has toned it down a lot, much better and also matched the gti interior more :y:
