Carbon fiber pieces from AliExpress

I’m not affiliated with this seller and not endorsing these items except for the steering wheel top trim that I do have. I’ve been contacted by the seller since ordering the wheel trim to see if I want any other bits but as I have a 40i they won’t fit my car.

I’ve negotiated a small discount via a coupon for forum members.

The wheel top trim I would say is a 7/10. It fits lovely but most of the clips broke when I was fitting it but it still fits securely. The weave is the same as OEM but I would say the finish is very very slightly milkier. Photos below are of the trim fitted to my car.

I’ve no idea buddy as I don’t have a comp so not looked at prices for these parts. If that’s the case then the seller is a bit optimistic then!

i thought I was just passing on an option at a decent price for forum members. If that’s not the case I apologise.

Yeah these prices are not good lol. If you are going to buy something from china that takes a month to get here it better be at least 50% off of the OEM price.

How was the install of the top trim? I haven’t seen any videos or instructions and curious how simple it is. Thanks!

I did this quite a while ago now but from memory it was pretty easy. Once all the steering wheel trim is off it exposes 4 screws that hold the top trim. And I think there was a large clip in the middle that needed to be trim tooled and that was it……I think. It wasn’t hard. Like everything in the steering wheel, take lots of photos as to where all the wires sit.
