dash options and costs

[ewan221]

My cracked dash is annoying me more than I thought it would so it will prob be the first cosmetic thing I attend to.

Not sure if I will keep original or go for another option.

Do leven still do the ali dash (cant see it on their website) ? and where would be the best place to get an original type ?

What has everyone else done and what sort of costs ?

I covered mine in black suede

Cost = £10

Time = one afternoon

I hated the veneer with a passion!
And the leven ones have been done to death

Hi Ewan,
I went this route for £20 - 3M carbon effect vynil wrap.


Which ever route you do take, assuming you do the work yourself, label each connection you remove behind the dash so you know where they go on re-assembly and clean the connectors before rebuilding the dash - especially the ones for the speedo and the rev counter.

Hey Ewan, it's about time you put some pics of your P&J up isn't it?

Completely agree to be honest.

Did mine in Alcantara. Smallest sheet I could get at the time was £50, but this was enough to do the dash, radio panel and both door cards. Took about 4-5 hours in total.
