V50 Trim : - Nordic Light Oak Console - Page 2

Mcpx · Apr 6th, 2016, 22:24

Good luck finding Nordic oak on ebay, I've been looking for two years and have never seen one listed. At the moment there is only one complete set of door handles listed and they are in dark wood.

Wrapping the centre console trim part is not for the feint hearted, buy decent cast wrap rather than the eBay stuff and buy extra and you'll be ok.

I found a set on eBay a few weeks back for the grand total of £19. It was listed as wood trim and not Nordic oak though. Keep an eye open they do crop up.

Thats how I found the items on Ebay, trying to be too specific limits number of hits, once I broadened search criteria I found similar items more easily. I cannot remember how I entered the search exactly but I do remember i needed to broaden search.
Try to look at it from sellers point of view, they may not realise that trim is more desirable to you, to them the items are wood handle/trim/console etc.
As previous members have said these items are out there.

What a bargain! Lucky fella :-)

I too like the Nordic Oak but never sure if I'm better sticking with the aluminium to match the inlay on the steering wheel.

Yes, thanks, I have seen this, but it does not appeal as much as the rather more pleasing light oak.

No offence intended if you like that but that really is dreadful ^

The Nordic Light Oak looks really classy. That looks like the dash of an LTI taxi.

I have a nordic oak console hanging around somewhere that I bought on eBay for £90 odd intending to collect all the bits to replace the dented/scratched aluminium in my C70. I quickly realised I was unlikely to ever find the full set, and I'm not even sure how to go about removing the door handle trims. I pretty much gave up on the mission, lovely though the light oak trim is.

I really ought to put that console back up on fleabay!

No offence taken, I do know what you mean, it looks just like fake wood, which is what it is. I too like the Nordic Light Oak

It does remind me of a skateboard stuck to the dashboard though lol.
