Alloy Dash Fitted

[kewe]

Managed to fit the SEAT alloy dash over the weekend, not sure tbh

More pics on Readers Ride section or clicking the link below my sig.

Let me know what you think, good or bad

I quite like it but think it would suit better if the lower sections of your dash were black instead of grey.

lol yeah, the flash from the camera actually lightens up the grey a bit but not much really.

Could be worse, could be cream coloured.

This was before the interior mods which I though was a bit too bland:-

It looks good chap. I reckon it would look even better with the lower dash and door cards being black. Maybe tone it down slightly by not doing the vents but I think it looks fine.

Strangely enough I quite like the vents but I've never been to sure about the centre console as it separates out the different units too much for my liking. It's hard to judge though without seeing it. I guess the vents might look odd done on their own. I always felt the lower dash should have been black. The grey on mine tends to have a slightly grubby look (maybe it is?!).

Maybe a picture without flash will be better.

I think it looks very good. Is this the dash kit that costs £120?

I agree totally. I think I'll stick with the centre console for now as it does cover some scratches I had on the original dash anyways and it is kind of growing on me by the day.

That looks well nice. Also agree with above posts about the lower section being black.

Just a one off but they do come up now and again.

Seats are standard in the V5 models, think quite a few of the leon guys have bought and fitted some of late so might be worth a search on there mate.

i see someone in the leon section has the same seat problem(but 4 years ago), so im waiting on a reply.. thanks for the heads up

Search for Leon Dash or Toledo Dash. Just the aftermarket ones at the moment though.

Same ebay supplier now has 10 of these kits available for £30 delivered!

just what i was thinking.

does look quite classy, would look brilliant if the who dash was black though.


Where did you get them from?

Also, i saw in your thread about the dials... they are very smart, you said they were custom from the manufacturers...do they currently make them then, and where can e get them?

DIT: i read the whole thread, looking now... the dash set doesnt fit though if you have the sat nav

Looks good - always been in two minds over these as there's still a lot of black showing from the radio, switches, air-con etc. Compliments your dials and gear knob well

Cheers mate. Yeah I think especially the sides of the radio where the adaptor fits would look better silver as it would then feed it from the bottom to the top without the break. I did try and cut a couple of spare pieces to the shape but it just looked pants. The other option would be to spray it but getting a match could be difficult.

I quite like it. I fitted mine about a year or so ago. However, I left the air vent ones off as I thought it wouldn't look right. I got mine off ebay for about £25 including P&P. The only problem I have now is I fitted a little red led beneather the ashtray to light the area up underneather like the Audi A3 before I did this. The light now reflects off of it and lights up the roof lining a little too much for my taste!
