Piano black trim...

Hiya guy's,
I was wondering if i bought a 2006 e90 with cream leather's, would piano black trim look good in their, has any one done this before?. Only it has wallnut trim in their at the moment and i hate it. Were would be the best place to get piano black trim from? I've searched everywhere can't find any for a decent price.

I was looking at a car with beige leather & piano black the other day - that's not too dissimilar & looked pretty classy to me. There probably some pics of your desired combo on here somewhere if you search around.

Not sure where to get it cheap though, other than keep an eye out on here and on ebay

I love my piano black and Jade Grey leather combo! Not a million miles from cream I expect. Very elegant and understated IMO.

The combo does look quite classy when the leather and trim is in good condition

However, the black carpet lining and floor matts makes it look ever better.

If I recall (have to check when I'm next in the car) the piano black isn't just black but has a very subtle metallic / "glitter" finish that give it a lift, so bear that in mind if spraying.

Yea i have just been on the phone to a car spray shop, they said they can get the piano black finish as he has done one in a Range Rover recently. But it will cost around £300 which i don't think is too bad...
