As a result, after installation, visual cohesion of the dashboard and proper alignment with neighbouring panels are maintained.

The centre console trim surround belongs to the group of covers, decorative strips, and decorations, making precision of execution and mounting stability crucial. The panel's construction is prepared for installation in the original body mounting points, without the need for modifications or forced adjustments.

This solution allows for quick installation and maintains the factory interior appearance, without unwanted play or creaks during driving.

Characteristics of a Used Part

The offered panel is an original Smart product in used condition.

The replacement of this element is often performed concurrently with the repair of other decorative panels, allowing for a comprehensive visual refresh of the driver and passenger area.

Due to its original origin, the panel is well-suited for both professional Smart Roadster service centres and workshops specializing in interior reconstruction and detailing. Stable mounting and a precise fit reduce installation time and minimize the risk of repeated disassemblies.
