You would need to replace all of it by ordering a full set in the finish you want from Bentley Motors. The veneer is pressed in several layers onto a shaped aluminium substrate on the Continental GT and Flying Spur. It is very different to the traditional methods used on other models. You wouldn't be able to just remove each item and then have it refinished by a wood veneer specialists, whether they do work on RR/Bentley cars or not.

At least, i'm 99% sure that is the case anyway.

I'm pretty sure you're right about that - not sure what a new wood trim would cost. About a Mini I'd say. biggrin

I had a wood trim put in my Vanquish, eye-wateringly expensive.

It may be possible to pick up a wood interior pack from a breakers, now the marque is more popular.
