Hello all, I've been doing some searching to no avail but does anyone have a pic of a revennered dash done by London Carrige Craft, I just want to have a look before I finally make my mind up.
I've been considering a stainless steel one but have now decided that having a new veneer is probably the way to go.
I thank you in advance,
Cheers, Graham.

Is this to view their craftsmanship or for matching up the veneer to the existing?
If the latter, they are very good at matching up the original colour and grain. You just need to give them the original for matching up...remember that if you are keeping the existing heater control panel, it would be a good idea to give them this to match up with, as the 2 panels fade at different rates.

More as a view to the craftsmanship and finish, my existing heater control panel is plastic so I can either keep that as it is or for an extra £85 have that veneered at the same time as the dash.

I sent off my bottom heater control panel as it had a dirty great crack through it. It came back as if it was new from the factory. Perfect match

Cheers

Graham

Thats good to know Graham, my dash has cracks all over it and it's got to come off to sort various electrical problems I've got so I figured it would be a good time to replace it.

Not to worry Clive, I still wouldn't mind seeing a picture if you don't mind but I think it'll be getting sent off in the next couple of days!

just go to tiny pic, upload your pic, copy the link given once upload is complete, then come on here,the reply form, paste, then under formatting codes put the right code before and after your link, with no gaps.
took me a while too, give it a go.

Ditto mine, except it puts the factory veneers to shame.

Beautiful dash Cliff - sorry to pry but any ideas on turn around time and costs.

Looks well worth the effort though from your pictures clap
