Pic of designo Poplar wood trim

I will post more pics in a day or so when the new camera arrives but meanwhile, it looks a little funky with the flash but you get the idea.

Looks great. It really offsets the black interior nicely.

It looks very elegant, but what I really want to see is carbon fiber finish, O and i noticed your break pedal is black, goes nice with the woodtrim.

PS: tennis ball to judge parking distance is good idea.

hmm do all C55s have the light grey plastic surrounding the instrument cluster, I dont think it really matches the rest of the black interior plastics. Probably doesnt stand out that much in regular light.....

Great looking wood trim though

Wow!! That looks great!. To be honest, black w/birdseye was my first choice. I really like the poplar but the birdseye is a bit more my personality.

Wow, love the birdseye maple trim. Looks very nice with the ash interior. Wish I had this option when I bought the C32, would've picked this wood trim with the black interior.

04E500,

Looks like we're thinking along the same line . Maybe you can get sfolich to change wood trims with you.

P.S. Time to change you ID to 05C55.

It's the reflection from the camera flash. They're metal.

They are stainless and the cluster surround is a medium gray, the flash is the culprit.
