• replacing a damaged or scratched wooden rear shelf,
• restoring the factory look of the interior after bodywork repairs,
• comprehensive cabin restoration in premium class vehicles.

Using an original part from dismantling allows for cost reduction compared to new parts while maintaining compliance with the factory interior design.
