The wood surround by the radio bracket fell off while replacing the black light buttons with leven one's. I've glue it back on but...........
Does anyone know if someone makes a cabon fibre finnish one as well as a dash one.
There's a crack on the dash veener.

I know it's not real but you could buy CF look-a-like sticky film and use your old panel as a backing. Bit of a Blue Peter job I know but some of these fabrics are quite realistic.

Oggs my veneer started chipping off and looked at how much it was gonna cost to get a carbon or brushed steel one.

So i thought i would give it a go my self.

It was june last year see in my profile, click HERE

Cost me about £110 and took me a week, a couple of hours each night.

If u need any more info drop me a mail

Of course i done the whole dash and switch panel on the GRiffith but dont see why you cant do both on the Chimeara too

David Batty had a few samples last time I visited. I believe price was £300-£400 but don't quote me!

Dropped the car off to David for a service this afternoon so asked him about the dashes again. He's stopped offering them, primarily due to problems with the fit and finish of the panels he was being supplied.

Still doing ally as far as I know, but no more carbon.
