- Scotland,
I'd start with taking it off the door card. See what happens then
This shows two nuts which presumably go onto two studs on the trim.
If you can't see these then looks like the door trim will have to come off.

@DocMason94 Hi Doc, are you thinking of replacing them or wrapping the wood ? Regards H

Hi Mach, was actually going to spray paint all of the grey parts and the wooden trim parts to in a high gloss black colour. I have a friend who spray paints trains who's willing to do it for free as long as I sand and prime all the parts before hand

Painting varnished wood is sacrilegious.

Mach, I'll be more than happy to do that. Wammers I'd normally agree with you, especially if it was a nice dark walnut wood. However that cherry wood truly is horrendous, it looks so cheap and nasty. I have to bleach my eyes every time I sit in the car just to clean the image from my irises.

You sure it's not plastic imitation wood?

Datatek, it's like a thin veneer of wood (the kind that Ikea would use to cover their chipboard made wardrobes in and advertise it is as 'oak', that nasty stuff you can peel off if that makes sense) which is coated in a thinish layer of clear plastic over the top.

It's like a thin veneer because it is veneer

Take a look what the little walnut bits n bobs cost before you butcher them.
Price on a P38 walnut panel is Heartbreaking

It's real wood with a Satin lacquer so it "looks cheap"
Personally the stuff in the P38 looks Títs out of 10 thanks to a proper lacquer being used..
You can buy coloured panels of the Bay of E...
Sell the wooden bits to recoup your wánkaccount.,
