afternoon fellas

my griffs dash is nothing short of falling off in my hands these days and i need to change it. the leather is all magnolia, but the header over the dials is actually navy blue like the paint. Ive seen and heard of a number of options out there and things people have tried but would really appreciate any ideas.

thanks for ur time

another empty walleted griff owner... that just laughes about it.

And mine, a precat one but you get the idea.
Boot release moved and anti-hijack deleted, warning strip shortened and centralised to remove the indicator arrows.

The dark dash top gets hot in the sun, but does not annoyingly reflect it on the windscreen (like the light colours do).



Incidentally, I chose the magnolia seats because they do not get hot in the sun and the blue centre rests and doors, so they don't look grubby. IMHO, the interior trim combination works well with the Jaguar Antigua Blue bodywork?

BTW, the car is completely original.

Magnolia for me too , as Toffer highlights it`s the best colour for keeping cooler in the balmy summer, plus Violet/Purple being the fastest colour for a Griff....perfect combination and all original.... wink

where does one go for a change ? please also remember i was cursed with hands like an massive chimp, and the replacement will need to be done by some willing technical dudes.

any recommends appreciated also.

Brushed aluminium with yellow dials - it was a factory option apparently but I've never seen another one in this finish.

Make it out of any strong material, maybe thick plastic sheet and then give it to these people http://www.garnishdip.co.uk/ they will then provide a wood/carbon fibre or even a water finish smile

The work is great and looks very good on a car.

Oh and why is the steering wheel offset to oneside in a chimp? Everyone I have driven felt like that, never felt it in any Griff I have driven....
