Estoril blue door trim

perryo91 · 11-01-2017, 10:51 AM

Hi!

I've got a 2014 with msport with the blue strip along the dash trim

However, my matching door strip is just flat black

I noticed LCI f30s have the matching strip along the door estoril blue!

I looked up a part# on realoem, by putting a 2017 340, can anyone possibly confirm that this is the right # to get the matching color? I know it's going to be difficult to retrofit with how it attaches to the door card.

But, finding the right part number would be the first step in getting it done.

Thank you for your help!

Oops, forgot to post the link for the LCI part number:

It's #5. Just looking to get some confirmation from anyone that's successfully done it.

I'd like to know his as well. Would like to retrofit this on my 2013 EBII.

A retro fit is a royal PITA, because that strip is attached with plastic rivets that must be cut off on the inside of the door panel. I wrapped mine with CF wrap, which can be done without removing the trim.

You're right. It's just so much work to go through...

I had some left over vinyl and tried sticking it on... but it just wouldn't adhere... Do you have any tips on getting it to stick? It was just regular 3M auto vinyl.

I doubt you'd care what mine looks like, I did it in 3M Di Noc silver carbon fiber, not blue.
