hi guys i am starting to paint my VB sle and i just wanted to know if my door trims are original they are Grey cloth some people have been telling me that it is not original due to that the VB sle had vinyl door trims is this true?
also has anyone got a list of VB VC VH SLE or VK VL CALAIS trim codes?
thank you
If its sle, its factory velour which came out in grey for the VB. Only the lesser models like L and SL had vinyl.
vb sl/e's had vinyl door trims with carpet on the bottom with a map pocket, vc sl/e's had vinyl on the top aprox 3" then velour in the middle and carpet on the bottom also with a map pocket and vh sl/e's had velour trims with carpet on the bottom with map pocket.
iirc vb's didnt have grey trim, please anyone correct me if im wrong, vc's did have gret though.
Genuine VB SL/E door trims.

VB SL/Es did infact have grey trim, common on silver coloured cars.

hi thanks SL/ENUT the trim pattern is the same as the second picture but in Grey the colour of the car is mistral grey so it makes seance that the trim would be grey. now also it docent have the original steering wheel did the VB sle have the VC VH sle style or is it different.
thank you
Vb SL/Es had standard VB steering well. The single spoke made it on the VC and VH SL/Es

from memory when i had mine long ago the ones that look like vinyl on the sle models were actually leather but because they looked soo much like vinyl not too many were specd from the factory as most people preferred the look of the velour instead. hence why the brocks have the velour type ones.
I can tell you now, non were ever leather, even on the VK Calais. They only had Velour or vinyl factory. HDT did do one VC with leather door trims also some of the VL models had leather too.
Another tid bit, Leather was an option on VB SL/E, VH SL/E and VK Calais, on the seat facings. Leather was never available on VC SL/Es.
