I almost PM'd you earlier, I couldnt find all the bolts to remove the dash  :lipsrsealed:

Turns out there are 6 not 4: 1 on either end of the dash, 2 in the scuttle area, and the 2 I missed were either side the of centre console.

Re flocking, I'm wondering which colour flock I could go for. If not black, then something to compliment the black, perhaps orange, grey...!?!?!


I don't think a semi will give the same results

Orange flock would be a wow factor

Trouble is I'd need some other WOW interior bits to set it off, including seats  :undecided:

Black or grey is best, light colour dashes reflect badly in the screen.

Could always go for black dash, orange undertrays, orange centre console and orange door pockets  :smug:

Haha, everyone missed those bolts in the scuttle ;)

As above, if your not worried about reflections in your window go for orange or what ever. If you are, go black or grey. with my black one it was perfect, was never blinded by bright reflections in the screens once. I actualy had one bit of packing foam stuck in the air vent that I could see plain as day, but the dash i couldnt.

I'd read about the scuttle bolts, so I knew about those. Like a right smart-ass I thought that was it and began tugging away... but I forgot the dash support bolts either side of the centre console. whoops.

Im thinking of keeping the main dash piece (upper) as black, and go orange on all the lower sections to create a 50/50 black/orange feel. I hate dash reflection in the windscreen!

I spied some DIY flock kits on ebay, £20 for 1m squared coverage. I might give it a go. For the money I reckon I could probably do all the dash/console/under trays/handbrake surround/door pockets and steering wheel for about £100.

I've been quoted £220 for the whole lot to be done by SBP plus an extra £10 for anything other than black, and then I have the ball-ache of packaging everything up and arranging a courier  :undecided:
