Climate control panel scratched

(1/4) > >>

rdfcpete:
In retrofitting my RNS-510 a few months back, like the tit I am, I scratched the climate control fascia panel quite noticeably which was pretty upsetting.

Being bit of a perfectionist (where its possible), I replaced this (£130 from the bay) with one from an R32.
Perhaps even worse, at the weekend I scratched the replacement while fitting my MDI USB arm rest interface DESPITE having a tea towel to protect it, knowing it would be in the line of fire when facking around with the cables at the back of the RNS  :fighting: :sad1:

Anyhow, I'm over its appearance as it's not *too* bad on the currently fitted one, but bad enough to pursue a repair!

Is there anything I can do with the original fascia (pictured), i.e. is the OEM paint or a scuff kit available?

Where it's all bobbled is where I made a shocking job at touching it up  :signLOL: Bit of a fail all round...


If anyone's willing to have a crack at getting it looking like new, I'd be happy to sort them out with a gesture payment for their time :drinking:

Thanks.

Keep an eye on eBay, i saw one go really cheap not so long ago

...For a replacement fascia?

This is the second one, 182!  :signLOL:
It's only a recovery job I'm interested in now. £130 a time isn't fun.

Sorry to hear this dewd, I did the same to mine...   I`ve been trying for the past two weeks to find a replacement on ebay but would prefer to get the original one painted or re-finished...

I`ll keep my eyes and ears out for you. :smiley:

you could try 1 of those smart repair firms mate,  just call a few and ask for a quote.   they should be able to make it look a lot better for less than 130 quid   :happy2:
