Dash trim ideas?

[Leon_MHX]

Well my dash is currently painted black, but im getting a little tired of it now and it has chipped slightly so I fancy a change.

What have other people done with theirs? Would you trim it, flock it, etc.

Wish I'd thought forward to removing the pillars and heater vent rings but that can be stage 2 lol

Looking forward to having it done

If you want a carbon effect have it dipped, water transfer process or WTP.
Google pitstop designs in Essex, a far cheaper alternative to real carbon fibre.

I'm having my dash parts flocked mate. It's a black suede like durable finish that I like the look of. Found in motorsports to stop sun reflecting off the dash

Between £60 - £100 for the bits I posted above

 

[prezf]

that's not bad, I got quoted £300 for covering in carbon, just radio fascia and air con cover

Lol

I know but I want to many things with not enough money and with the baby now it';s even harder so I have to leave all this crap and save for remap

My boy (our 1st) is due nov29 so modding has slowed down here too

 

[prezf]

since my son was born (28th june last year) things slown down big time, bought a house as well. That's why my car is full of stonechips and scraches and can't getting anything new anymore... still worth it
