CUSTOM INTERIOR

[corrine]

was thinking about customising the interior of my chimaera, maybe a cerbera dash (has this been done before?) or something unique, any ideas or suggestions???

I have been doing mine for some time. Some pictures on my profile. Will post more if requested...

Could do this:

The so-called 'kylie' treatment

[corrine]

prefer yours to the 'kylie' treatment!
did you do it yourself or take it to someone?

[Chimjunkie]

Did all myself. Have done the following:

Carbon Instrument panel + rearranged/additional switches
Carbon Dash pod
Carbon Centre console
Black carpets
Carbon door cards
TR Lane roll bar
Lotus Exige Probax seats

Used the original dash to make a new mould for the carbon unit. Not sure the cerb dash would be a direct fit, but cutting and bonding should be possible then re-trimming.

We are about to start the bespoke dash on Lisa's new rally car which is based on the original so that the mounting points and heating ducting is reused. features will then be added/removed and then flocked. A back to basics approach would be to use sheets of shaping foam bonded together to fill the dash area. Then sculpt out the new shape. You then use P38 over the foam to make a smooth mouldable surface. Using fibreglass, negative moulds can be taken and then a unit produced. This is obviously lots of work, but not impossible for an enthusiast.

Chimjunkie, please,please tell me that the 'Kylie' treatment is a photoshop job and that no-one, for the love of God, has actually done that to a Chimaera.
