Dashboard Debate - Original Veneer or Carbon Fibre??

[PJ57]

Hey folks. My original veneer dash is knackered, and I need to decide whether to go with a refurb of the existing wood finish and have the possibility of having to do the whole lot again in a few years, or go Carbon Fibre.

The issue I have is that the car and I may well be in NZ in a couple of years time, with far harsher sunshine, so trying to think ahead as to whether there will be more cracking problems with the veneer?

The chim is being sorted by Carl Baker in a couple of weeks, so have to hurry and make a decision by then, as I can get it fitted when the dash top is off.

Carbon looks like good value for money, just wondering how it would look vs the original wood design?

Any thoughts greatly appreciated

Thanks

Thanks, colour scheme as below.



Thinking it would match the roof well, but the veneer looks great too......barr all the cracks

Ooh, that looks rather nice. definitely suits the lighter dash panels though.

Need to photoshop that against the dark blue dash top.

Think it looks like a modern take on the chim dash

That's done it......Carbon Fibre it is

Thanks for all the input guys. I love the Veneer, but the car is a daily, and I only intend re-furbing the dash once.

I like the Alloy dash on the earlier cars, but with the later silver bezels and cream dials, I think Carbon (and piano black), have a lovely contrast.

Will speak to the guys at TVR 101, and try to get some photo's once done

Thanks again
