Bavaria B Pillar Trim Cover

[Paulaner]

Hey, can someone tell me if this B Pillar cover I found on eBay could fit my 1972 Bavaria? The listing is for a 2800 E3
eBay link and looks very similar to the one I am try to replace on my car except for the missing plastic seat belt retainer clip about half way up.

I have attached pics of mine. Replacing it because the previous owner tried to remove it with a screwdriver and bent the heck out of it on both sides up by the seat belt bracket.

Regards,
Paulaner

It will not have the opening for the belt as the retractor is hidden on yours and the 2800 had fixed belts.

Yep totally missed that. Thanks for the quick response.

Mine are not blue, they are a coffee color, maybe you could paint them.

A buddy just found a fantastic dye for his E9's door handle. I can find out what he is using.

I may just try to refresh the existing piece. Bend it back into shape, strip the existing vinyl covering and reupholster with this almost exact Marine Blue I found for sale on AMZ. I used the material for my under trunk lid liner and was happy with the result.

I wish there were a way to get you mine, as I'm going to recover them in black, most likely. I just don't have another set to use. Seems like you can get the exact vinyl pretty easily?

The material I linked earlier is not exact but very very close. To the untrained eye you would never be able to tell. Here is a pic of my trunk liner for reference of the color. I know this is not the stock look but I like it.
