The trim around the windows is silver on my car; Does anyone know if the black version ....

a) is available as a spare part (assume it'd be expensive)
b) there is any way of doing this 'aftermarket'

Is there a tape available or anything like that?

Has anyone done this?

Cheers

There are shops that can cover it in black vinyl. Some of the BMW guys have had it done and it looks factory.

 

The black window trim is from the XKR Black Pack edition (at least that's what the model is called here in the US). You can get the black pack window trim but it would be costly. I went with vinyl wrap. The shop sent me this pic when they were vinyl wrapping my trim:


Afterwards when it's completed look:

 

looks gr8!!!

 

Cost to wrap trim?

 

I think it was around $80-$100.....don't remember exactly as it was about a year ago and also had other things done at the same time and so I don't remember each line item.

It shouldn't cost more than $100 as I got a quote to vinyl wrap my front bull bar and rear diffusor on my Evoque for $100 and that takes more time and materials.
