    Abstract: A vehicle trim element and method for manufacturing the trim element. The method includes the steps of: supplying a substrate comprising natural fibers and thermoplastic fibers entangled together, supplying a first layer comprising a base layer and provided with at least one reinforcing and/or decorative element, and compressing the first layer against the substrate. The method also includes, prior to compression, aligning the first layer and the substrate by aligning a first positioning element of the substrate and a second positioning element of the first layer arranged outside the at least one reinforcing and/or decorative element.
