The adhesive wood grain sticker has completely come off, I would need to have it redone completely I would think..

Theres a few wood stickers on ebay but I'm not sure what type of style that wood is.

Same thing happened to mine. Unfortunately only options are to remove the woodgrain and have it back to black, find a new one, or try to match it up with a full replacement kit so they all match.

Arent your doortrim woodgrains covered in carbonfibre? Do the same to that so it matches?

It's hard to pick what's happened to your woodgrain, Kristoph. I've just fitted an original piece of woodgrain, and it's plastic, yours looks like wood that's lost a layer- the wood trim on the doors is a laminate, like plywood although there's a layer of aluminium in there.

If it is indeed real wood, I'd suggest all you could do would be to strip the darker section back to the same level as the pale wood and stain it dark again, then seal it. The pale "wood" if that's what it is, doesn't look like birdseye maple which is what the door/dash trim is (the topmost layer, at least).

Thanks for the replies guys

I would rather not attempt to fix it myself at this stage so I'm going to visit a few wood restoration stores tomorrow and see what they can do :-)
