Rek, are the rhd grab rails veneered? It seems like that would be a near impossible task with all the curves and scalloping. All the 2000cs rails I have seen are solid wood, probably ash or maple, that has been tinted to match the dash. Short of using some synthetic material, I can't imagine how one could veneer that with real wood.It is certainly a nice feature on RHD cars. I have just had the fun of re-veneering this piece with its compound curves. As I am a beginning to working with wood, it was an interesting day. By 'interesting' read inter alia, frustrating, demoralising, problem solving and finally, alcohol inducing. I will post some pictures once completed.
