Interior Trim Volvo C70 .........£ too much!!!

Feb 9th, 2005, 00:49

Hmm

Just bought a 2001 volvo c70 which I love.

I'm not sure about the interior wood trim though? Might need to get a pair of slippers and a pipe to feel at home with it!!

Received a quote from volvo for interior black wood trim replacement £480!!! wow... Does anyone know where I can get either aluminium or black wood interior replacement? (glovebox, centre console, handbrake console and centre rear console

Thanks

Ebay usually has some stick-on stuff

you might find someone who'd prefer the wood (maybe)

or perhaps try a scrapyard/breakers - however bad a car has been crashed the interior trim should be ok

I think some slippers and a pipe might be easier and cheaper - or you could get the car seriously tweaked for that money and no-one would be able to see the interior trim as you howled past.

You could remove the panels and pay a visit to a french polisher who could blacken them for you, or you could spray them yourself, but it might look a bit DIY! Pity to waste them though, someone would probably like to have them.

A guy in the States painted his and, from the photographs, the finish was excellent. Stripping out the centre console and handbrake console ones is a fairly big job though.

'however bad a car has been crashed the interior trim should be ok'

Not seen many crashes then?

Ricardo,

Fine place to try is Charles Trent in Poole, who break a lot of very late model cars. The facia is all the same in your car as the S70 old shape V70...doors are different.

Hi guy

Be patient and keep a beady eye on Ebay.

Got my aluminium trim for £80 and it was like new.

Changing the trim is not too bad, I managed to change it whilst it was raining ! all inside the car. Got a bit steamy mind you ! lol.

Hi...need some help guys.
Fitted a 4ft wide trellis, in the back of my C70 with the roof down...when i got home, the trellis had damaged/dented/ruffled up the vinyl, on either side of the rear comp. It is the part that is about 3 inches below the window, if you can follow me!
Any suggestions on how or who can repair this, or can i buy a 2nd hand trim bit, for either side, from somewhere????
Appreciate you help or advise.
