Brushed aluminum wrapped fascia.

Brushed aluminum wrapped fascia.
Was perusing the Arden site and came across this aluminum dash kit for the XK8. Can I say WOW! But can you say $$$$$$?!?!
My detail shop has a 3m amazing brushed aluminum wrap that I swear looks real. I'm seriously thinking about doing this to my panels since its totally reversable and I can do it myself. My veneer is very faded to a yellow and its pricy to refinish. I can do this for about 40.00.
Only problem is the steering wheel. I found a leather wrap kit I may customize to cover just the wood?
There's several colors also. A killer gunmetal aluminum.

Hello Phil, I had Maderia Concepts in Goleta, Calif. refinish my steering wheel as I changed from the walnut veneer pieces to a driftwood grey Birdseye maple.
They will do a piano black finish or black stain for about 250.00. The finish is exactly like Jaguar Factory very hard and durable(maybe better). The only problem was is takes about 2 weeks so I bought a extra steering wheel to use while the original was being refinished.
For shipping cost you are welcome to use mine until yours gets back. You might even talk with Jeff (the owner) about just doing an exchange of already finished veneer, return your the old cracked pieces for new. About $900.00. Just google Madeira Concepts in Goleta, a bit more $$$ but in keeps with Jaguar. They do all North America Jaguar and Rolls Royce Factory Just google Maderia Concepts in Goleta.
Good luck and
Happy Motoring...
