Window Frame Chrome / warranty inquiry

Good day

Did anyone try to remove the chrome around the window frames or found a way of how to "hide" it (I have a black E).

2nd question: I am planning to get custom wheels on the car, would it affect my warranty in any way?

Thank you all for help

Depends on the wheels. If they have the identical size, weight and offset as an OE wheel optionally fitted to your car then you shouldn't have problems.

If you have suspension issues and your wheels are either heavy or have an unusual offset, then the dealership may try to blame the problem on the wheels.

It is unlikely that you will have problems but the possibility exists.

3m carbon fiber tape will probably do the trick. k-a has more experience on this even he didn't do those trims.
