Hello everybody--First off, I hope everyone had a fantastic and joyful holidays.

Now, this is a simple project to transform my gray trim above the glovebox to a luxury wood trim look. If you guys don't know the Westminster Edition Discovery doesn't come with wood trim.

So instead of purchasing the whole dash wood kit for $150-$200, I purchased a wood grain vinyl sticker from ebay (just search for wood grain vinyl). It sells for about $5 for a 12"x15" roll.

Check out the pictures.

AFTER:







It took about 1/2 hour, very simple process. The use of a hair dryer also helped form the vinyl around the corners. Let me know if you have any questions.

Cool, looks good on the trim, but no after pics?

 

uhmm...I thought it was attached.

Here is it!

 

thats great ! i want to do this to my d1. i like that grain in the wood, are you doing anymore of the car?

 

I know it's personal preference but I hate the wood trim look. Both my vehicles have it and I want it gone. Thanks for the vinyl sticker tip, that's a great idea! Anybody have a suggestion what color trim would look good with tan interior?

 

Black

 

yesmar, I'm planning on covering the center switch plate (heated seats and window switches) and the rest of the area around the shifter. But I'll need to order more vinyl sheets.

I love the vinyls, my only concern is the cold weather. It it will unravel or the sticky will dry up.

I think aluminum would look cool, but you'll probably have to look for the whole dash kits as you can't paint them aluminum color.

 

I think black might be too much of a contrast. What color is the factory trim in rovers that have tan interior and no wood grain? can somebody post a pic?

 

NiteTrain, here's an 04 Disco with tan interior and black trim.

If you were doing a solid color I would just paint over the trim piece, seems easier than dealing with a sticker. Rustoleum has that gold lame color that would be sweet.
