Vehicle trim component

A component for a vehicle interior comprising:

• a rigid composite panel comprising a structural substrate comprising a compression-formed fiber panel formed from a fiber panel comprising a plurality of fibers and a resin to bind the fibers;
• and
• a resin structure comprising a resin;
• wherein the compression-formed fiber panel comprises a thickness along an edge;
• wherein the resin structure comprises a border of the structural substrate along the thickness of the edge of the compression-formed fiber panel;
• wherein the edge of the compression-formed fiber panel comprises an outer edge;
• wherein the resin structure comprising the resin comprises the border of the structural substrate formed on the outer edge of the compression-formed fiber panel;
• wherein the resin structure comprising the resin provides rigidity for the rigid composite panel comprising the structural substrate;
• wherein the resin structure comprises a feature providing an ancillary component;
• wherein the feature providing the ancillary component comprises a molded resin to bond to the compression-formed fiber panel formed from the fiber panel comprising the plurality of fibers and the resin to bind the fibers;
• so that the rigid composite panel comprises the compression-formed fiber panel formed from the fiber panel comprising the plurality of fibers and the resin to bind the fibers bonded with the resin structure comprising the feature comprising the ancillary component formed by the molded resin.
