does any one know where i could locate an interior for a 97 chimaera? when i say interior, i have a 'boring' black one and want to brighten it up by changing some of the panels to maybe cream, id like the top part of the dash cream, door cards and the outside panels of the central consol, not sure the exact name of these parts but im sure you get the point, im in Bristol and i have tried the most local brakers in bath, 'bell hill' but they dont keep components like that, nor did the other breakers yard i contacted

Can't help you with locating the parts i'm afraid, but if you do have some luck and want to sell your black bits let me know!

Cheers

Black and red, but I want to tone down some of the red (especially as it's a bit faded now). The dash top, door cards and the middle part of the centre console is what I'm after.

Yeah, especially as some advertise it on their website. It was months ago I enquired to the main 2 breakers, but they didn't seem interested so I've just been checking Ebay/the PH classifieds since.

Good luck!!

Hi Andy

I got my Chimaera centre console recovered by these guys in Bristol, they also did my roof.

Might be a cheaper option, you could also choose the colour you want, maybe worth looking at as an alternative option?

The guy who owns the company also had a chimaera, not sure if he still has it.

yeah i know them, he done my back section, not a very good job really, it was quite loose, it seemed ok to begin with, i asked him how much he wanted to to the hard to section and he wants over 200 quid for that, not so sure thats good value for money cos as trimming goes, that must be as easy as it gets, ok the back section was 400 quid, aparently thats cheap for that, but it was a poor job, thank you for the interest in my dilema though, i may ask him, i just get the feeling if you can pick up bit like i want from a scrapyard, it would be quite cheap as noone seems to want them, god knows what krych would want to re trim the dash top, door cards and central consol, i was hoping i could pick the lot up from a scrapyard somewhere for 100 quid or something

I'd avoid a light coloured dash top as they tend to reflect in the windscreen.
