V50 Trim : - Aluminium Console

nickyr · Jul 25th, 2007, 10:47

Has anyone else noticed how easily the console picks up small scratches and marks. I wiped a small bit of dust off this morning and it's left a lovely mark. Tried polishing it out to no avail.

Anyone else come across this and if so able to pass on any tips for getting the marks out?

Regards, Nick

Does any body kmow a UK site where you can buy replacement aluminium centre consoles? Mine has quite a big scratch on it that I don't think any amount of brasso will bring out.

For that money, I'd live with the scratch...

Found the same thing with the Alu console and especially the door handle area. Got wood effect now on a different car, never found a way to buff out.
