Default Replacing the plastic on the grab handle

As you may know, on the 2015 F Type the plastic J shaped piece under the grab handle gets sticky over time.

Mine needs replacing.. I was wondering if anyone knows about any wood options that may be interesting?

For sure he is talking about the plastic trim on the underside of the centre console grab handle.

your stuck with
1.replacing with new
2.putting carbon fibre cover over it
3. wrapping in whatever wrap you like - there is wood grain wrap instead of the carbon fibre wrap
4. cleaning the sticky off it
5.hydrodipping a wood pattern

Try this trick Instead of replacing sticky handles or buttons.

Hand lotion does the trick and Alcohol for more hardcore cleaning.
