New member - current EV driver looking for i3 for teen driver/project car

[turns2stone]

OK I'm officially an i3 owner

Yes, I derailed my own thread, as my purchase turned into a fun car for myself vs. my teen driver. We'll worry about their car down the road ha!

I picked it up late, so I don't have any pictures to share. I have several questions, but one easy one... what is this part number or common name for the trim indicated in my picture? Both sides/pieces are faded. Is this common?

I have a feeling that the trim may be single use once removed plastic bits break off. Just like the rear suicide door panels are single use. Maybe someone who is more informed can tell us.

Found a great video:
Start at 42:00 if the timestamp doesn't work

It's removable and reusable, but upon closer inspection of my car in particular, I think the discoloration can be removed by an auto detailer that knows how to do general paint correction. This is the path I'll take.
