Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Any advice on repairing interior trim like this?

    I'm gonna try buffing out the light scratches with toothpaste.

    Has anyone done repair work on to anything like the slight chips highlighted in red?

    I'm sure someone else will be along with more helpful advice.

    In the interim, considering time, effort and expense, would you consider wrapping it?

    Have you done that yourself?

    How difficult is it to do a good job, like, does it not get messy around edges and corners?

    Looks like someone was trying to pry off the handbrake button and damaged the plastic. Looks like badly scratched too, be a lot easier to wrap it of you can take it off. Other than change it for another one doesn't look like there's a whole lot you could do with it

    As PsychoPete above said, it looks like someone tried to remove the handbrake trim. It's also evident on the right hand side where there is a another dent and a wider gap compared to the left.

    Ideally it would be best if the trim/panel could be removed. It would be easier to apply the wrap.

    Failing that, one would need to need to carefully work the wrap around and between the edges.

    Get a wrapping tool kit off Amazon.

    There are tons of tutorial videos on YouTube.
