Hello. I was wondering if it's possible to upgrade the R56 interior trim on both the doors and dash? I have just the basics as I didn't choose a trim option which I regret. I was wondering the following:

If possible how easy is it to alter?
Where do they stock R56 trim upgrades?
Is it possible to get hold of factory fit trims e.g piano black, brushed alloy, fluid silver for doors and dash?
Any idea how much these cost?

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Sean.

There are some chequered dash ones you can buy from your dealer - also seen them on ebay for just over £100.

The piano black are dearer at about £150 just for the dash - the door trims are seperate! Think Chris from Woodmans gave me a quote for about £350+ for the lot (poss more can't remember). Bit expensive really.

The mood lighting reflects well on the standard dash mind

The following website gives a good indication of the cost using the part number from Real OEM:

Cooper MINI Parts, Inchcape

Really quite expensive to retrofit these. Quite tempting just to do the dash and leave the door trims black...

Out of interest can anyone tell me the best way to remove the dash trim? Does it simply pull off? And does the passenger side storage compartment unscrew?
