Default Scratched radio bezel, and cupholder trim.

I brought an 04 Wrx Still which has a scratch marks on the cupholder trim on the dash and the trim next to the cup holder which I think is part of the vents. Also the black trim which the radio bezel trims plugs into is also scratched. I think the previous owner was careless in installing the OEM radio back into the car or had kids but its starting to annoy me.

I think the image of the above parts are correct, obviously missing the black base trim where the radio bezel plugs into.

Where can I buy these parts from and how hard is it for an idiot such as myself to complete? So far eBay has been no help and I have no idea what the part numbers are? Also one of the radio ***** are scratched, what can I do?

Regards and thanks.

Have a blob too and mine aren't in the best condition either. Shouldn't be too hard to find from Scoobyspares or something but I've taken the opportunity to wrap mine! (Well, I will be soon anyway!) makes it look unique and hides the scratches.

It's dead easy to do. Un-pop the cupholder and there is a screw behind there, unscrew that and start to pop it off, undoing any screws you find along the way. Really easy tbh, I'm ****e with manual labour and I managed .

Just remove them, rub down and re-spray! Easy job. Did it with mine.

What exact colour code did you respray it? Also what colour would you spray on the radio ***** so it matches the rest of the radio?

Regards.

I think the bug's are a different colour, thats what I was told when I was buying a replacement for mine.. I just got mine of ebay for about £15-£20 in the end.
