The invention provides an interior car panel (2) comprising: a carrier (6) for securing to a car interior; an illuminating element (10, 12, 14) mounted on the carrier; a profile-defining layer (8) secured to the carrier (6) so that it conceals the illuminating element (10, 12, 14), the profile-defining layer (8) being formed from an at least partially transparent material; a light-impermeable layer (24) which covers the profile-defining layer (8), the light impermeable layer (24) having a window (26) therein through which light from the illuminating element (10, 12, 14) may pass; and one or more layers of lacquer (28, 30, 32) coating the light-impermeable layer (24) and obscuring the window (26); wherein at least one (28) of the layers of lacquer (28, 30, 32) is tinted and wherein the layers of lacquer (28, 30, 32) together form a light barrier which renders the window (26) in the light-impermeable layer (24) substantially invisible when the illuminating element (10, 12, 14) is switched off but allows images formed in or by the window (26) to be seen when the illuminating element (10, 12, 14) is switched on.
