Dash Trim Colour
I was chatting to a mate about my wood trim and that I don't like it very much so he suggested I change it.
He suggested piano black and paint it for me. I'm wondering what you guys have gone for away from standard or if you got any recomendations but trying to keep to the erm.....VIP (?) feel of the 8.

That is a quality finish.
You guys done very well. I don't want CF. I feeling something a bit different. I did suggest midnight black or black with tinkel bits in it but he seems keen on doing piano black. Just need to see some examples. If its been done.

Piano black looks awesome but it is a bitch to keep dust free!

Its ok, I got a soft cloth in the car. lol
I can't find any example pics of Piano black in a D3, so I'm going to risk it and do it anyway. Just need to find out how to take bits off now.

My mate has piano black in his Toerag... Give it a wipe before you leave and within an hour, it's looking dusty again
 Does look nice when clean though.

I have a piano/gloss black interior in a work car that I drive and as has been said already, as soon as you run a dry cloth over it, there is some more dust.
Looks good though if you ignore that. I imagine it would look good in a D3 with any colour interior actually.

Honestly, stay away from piano black, the worst possible finish for fingerprints and fine dust, sooo a daily stuff, which means wiping it every day as it will drive you mad, or if it doesnt bother you that much then it wont look that great because of the things mentioned above
Something like this maybe

The fingerprint and dust thing don't bother me. I'm normally sat there with a cloth wipping it over cause I'm on the ferry or stuck in traffic.
Could always colour code them?
