Piano Black Dashboard Trims for the Mercedes-Benz 190 E Evolution

The Evolution was finished in the light of a racer and the dark of a saloon. Between the instruments, the factory left the panels plain. DMC has set a deeper black into those places: piano black trims, added to the structure already there, so the cabin takes a gloss the road car never carried.

Not a replacement of the board. An addition. The dash remains. These panels sit on it, and the black does the rest.

A darker reading of the board

A piano surface does not decorate. It reflects. On the Evolution, the trims take the places the eye already rests: the runs beside the instruments, the edges of the structure, the small panels a saloon left matte. The gloss is deep enough that the cabin reads as commissioned, not accessorised.

Specified when the commission is named. Gloss, and only gloss. That is the point of the finish.

How the panels are finished

The black is not a film. Each trim is prepared, lacquered and polished until the surface holds a reflection without a ripple, the same patience DMC gives a weave. Where the carbon panels are cured in the autoclave, these are brought to gloss by hand, ply of lacquer upon lacquer, until the black is deep enough to be called piano.

Global orders and delivery

The trims do not end at the bench. DMC offers worldwide insured shipping and concierge-level logistics, so the component arrives as securely as the commission deserves. Named, packed, and sent to the car it was finished for.

Since 2009

DMC Exotic Car Tuning Limited has spent the years since 2009 treating the cabin as structure. German engineering, held to TÜV-certified development for road safety. The same discipline supplied to OEM dealers, and to the Italian houses and yacht ateliers that already know what a surface should feel like.

The 190 E Evolution piano black trims belong to that line. A classic Mercedes-Benz, given the gloss its racing life left unspoken.

Commissioned through DMC.

Install:

This is a replacement part. The OEM dashboard needs to be removed for installation but you won’t have to send it in. Use the DMC Tool Kit if you feel necessary. Although fitting is quite straight forward we do always recommend using a trained professionals to undertake the install. We estimate around 150 minutes to fit. Remember to turn off the airbag before installing.

Carbon Fiber Gel Coat:

DMC Carbon Fiber Products come with a free Gloss or Matte Coating on all Carbon Fiber items, please leave a note at check out which one you like. If you don’t specify we will add a gloss base layer. However we suggest you to add one additional layer to match your country’s local UV and weather requirements as they differ throughout the world. We also suggest to wax and seal the item further, even though we include a base seal of high quality carnauba product. This can be protective in regions that have high humidity or rain.
