my car has the piano black gloss interior trim but i notice my gearstick surround and ashtray are just normal matte black plastic, but some of the other cars i test drove had the walnut finish and the aluminium style finish and both had the same effect on gearstick surround and ashtray, should mine have the same gloss black around the gearstick??
Paino black interior trim
- Thread starter ei2gfb
- Start date
Ide be interested to know this too as mine sounds the same as yours, both the gearstick surround and ashtray have started to peel and it would be good to know if there is a surround that could be bought to match the rest of the trims before I go to TPS to order replacements
Might as well give this ago, I planned on replacing them anyway because mine are peeling so if it don't look right ill buy new
this seems to be a very close match, seems to be an american wrap manufacturer "oracal" cant seem to find it over here at all, but id say 3m 1080 wrap shouldnt be far off

Gear stick surround is 8E0864261AH1LQ
Gear stick surround is 8E0864261AH1LQ
interesting must keep an eye out in breakers yards, however a quick google brings up ecs listing the parts and the gear surround is $260!!!
On Vagcat (prices in euros) the ash tray cover is about £30 & the gearstick surround is about £50
was in local seat garage as nearest audi garage is well over an hours drive away and got them to check part number the gearstick surround is â¬55 ex vat and part number is 8E0864261A(N) N for manual the H was for auto, the ashtray cover is â¬26 ex vat and the exeo part number is the same bar an E at the end 8E0857967E, Inc vat works out at â¬100 i think ill wrap first and if im not happy i can buy the parts
I'll get some tomorrow.
First remove the ashtray cover and surround then seperate the 2 alli strips on the ashtray and the strip that holds them.
I used wet and dry to remove the rubberised coating followed by 4 coats of grey primer de nibbing between coats,5 coats of gloss black de nibbing again.I applied 6 coats of laquer and de nibbed as neccesary.All done with cans.
A massive improvement from the standard finish imo.
