Hi guys

About to buy an aluminium trim pack from eBay LR002463. Can someone confirm if the parts stick
Over existing panels or do they Replace the OEM panels?

Cheers

I think you have to remove the existing trim. Some are stuck on with tape, some have fixings. There are some threads on here about replacing the trim.

Thanks richp

I think the ones that sit either side of the radio unit must be stuck as they're smaller than the OEM part. Just worried this will look tacky. Cannot find close up pics of these radio-area trims to confirm.

I like the fake ali trim, but it is all so drab without a splash of colour....

If you have a HSE then you should already have wood, aluminium or piano black trim. These are fitted with fixings behind them. The aluminium ones you're looking at fix over the top of existing with tape. 2014 SE Loire Blue SD4 Auto (MY15)

How do the flowers fix in, do you need a water drain , what colours do they come in and are they self pruning type?

Yep, mine came with piano black trim. Just think with everything black it would look nice with some alu trim.

Any pics of alu trim up close? Anyone here got pics in their gallery?

As my interiror was too dark, I added the stick-on plastic 'alu look' trim.

I also added the alu vent trims a few months later ....
... as well as adding some chrome strips to the door cards,
oh and a couple of short vertical bits on the central facia [to match the steering wheel horn bars].

There are two versions of the long piece across the top of the glove box included which, I assume, are to accommodate cars with just a moulded glove box door (like mine) or those with a extra trim piece added on.
