Hi guys, I am now a proud owner of a MK2 Leon FR TFSI 2.0.. I love the car, however, what can I do with the dash?

I've tried searching but can't find anything.. are there any guides or pics of people changing the colour of the dash?

I also want to fit in an aftermarket stereo... any ideas? I'm on a budget!

Thanks!

I cannot tell you anything about the dash but I recently bought an RCD510 if you search for rcd510 review you should see my post if you want to check that out... Got it for £125 delivered... Straight swap from the standard unit even I did it with zero expertise lol

Hope that helps

friend of mine did it for me so I didn't get charged full price ;) but I think he charges £100 to do it, that's taking the dash heater rings gear knob off n out the car and done and re fitted but I may be wrong on the price!

The fascia around the stereo just clips out. The fascia around the heater controls has two screws and then pulls out. The instrument cover has 1 (or maybe two) screws and then clips out!
