Hello!
So I'm slowly making my little C3 more my own and I've seen one with the center bit having a silver outline? Picture attached. Does anyone know of that silver part is a part I can buy and where I can get it? I've seen it in a few models but not found anyone selling one. Any help is appreciated! I was also considering trying to paint or do something to mine to make it silver but not sure I'm that confident yet lol.
Thank you!

That is not a picture of your model C3.
The one shown is a 2006 to 2009 (facelift) that had a different dashboard.
You can't buy the silver bits, they are part of the dash.

There was a kit from Citroen of pressed, self adhesive, aluminium trims for the pre-facelift C3 (2002-2005).
It consisted of surrounds for the four vents, two covers for the buttons on either side of the radio and a ring to go around the gear shift boot of a manual transmission.
The part number was 9425.67

Ohhh, that's good to know! Mine already has the ring around the gear shift boot but I'll have a look for those trims! If not I'll have to make some I guess.

have a look at this post to help identify which version you have by checking the speedo dashboard cluster.
