    Brushed linear aluminium trim

    Trying to spec out before last change date, does anyone have the brushed linear aluminium trim finishers that could post some photos ?

    Thanks

    I think I'm the only one daft enough to spec it, if I was ordering again I would stick with the piano black trim, only went with the aluminium trim to break up the dark interior. I'll post a photo later it was too dark this morning Thumbs Up

    Perfect, I'm the same as was looking to break up the blackness of the interior which is why I'm looking at it.

    Does it look bad or do you just think that it wasn't worth the extra money ?

    No you're not, there's 2 of us at least. I also did this with the intention to break up the black interior but this trim is much darker than I imagined so it didn't really do what I thought it would. It doesn't look bad though but as J77 says it isn't what I thought it would be.

    Happy to post some pictures in a little while, it is still dark here.

    This is what it looks like. Not what I would call brushed aluminium.

    Correct, the inserts in the doors are the same.

    I have spec’d it after looking at a dealer sample and liked it - and I like the pics posted above too. It’s reaffirmed my choice! Thanks!!!

    I also have it in mine. TBH the biggest advantage is it doesn’t show dust and finger prints like the piano black plastics.
