Title: Carbon Fibre Dash Trim?
Post by: Red-I on 08 June 2006, 12:54

Hey guys,

I've seen plenty R32 brushed aluminium kits for replacing the dash trim, ashtray cover etc.
I prefer a darker dash and was wondering whether there was a Carbon Fibre alternative out there?

Just an idea, need to dig thorugh a D&W catalogue maybe.

Cheers

like the sticker stuff? www.mhw.de do some in carbon fibre and  i know that motorworld do some (yes i work for them, but i know we do it so halfords prob will too) you'll have to ring your local branch and get them make a phonecall to their technical for fitments!  :cool:

Some guy on the ukmkiv's forum took the dash trim apart and sprayed it anthracite looked very cool and shiny

yes I saw the thread from the guy who'd sprayed his. It worked well, but not sure how long it will last.

I have to say I'm a little adverse to using stickover fibre stuff, but then the last time I did something like that was 10 years ago so the products may have improved a fair bit!

I just thought it would have been a standard dash upgrade kit...but maybe fibre's old hat now?!

I'll have to find an alternative. Thanks for the input.

if you do a search on that forum for Carbon fibre optic trim it should bring up  aload of threads about various types you can get; like gold optic, silver optic. 

the stuff is out there but I warn you - ITS PRICEY!!
