Pics? I'm still holding out to see what your dash will look like when you get to it!

I will post pics when I get to work, I know! The dash will look good - although because of all the curves it actually proves to be difficult, I will need to buy a new roll to do it. But I will practice with the offcuts =]

I still need to find a black glove box and the little cover bits for the door handles and sides of the dash (that cover the mounting screws). My new dash has sprung a crack in it too so deciding whether I lay carbon fibre over the dash or just sticker bomb it.
Cool sunroof bro...

Oh? Who is that? I'd be keen on some pieces! Namely the bits I mentioned, plus a black floor carpet.

I'm not to sure how long it will last.... From what I have read it lasts pretty much as long as the car lasts. And whats the worse, I take it off and do it again! haha

Id be keen for an uncracked dash centre piece where all the aircon controls + headunit sit. I pulled the wood grain trim off mine and its covered in shit and glue and its missing a large chuck of plastic now.

I have a black na dash I was contemplating dumping... Put in an nb one and have been left over with the NA one. If anyone is keen to pick it up over the weekend I'd gladly let it go.

I'll put up a photo of what I have left over.

Mmmm budweiser.

All I want to complete the car's appearance now is a GV rear spoiler (in carbon fibre plz!) a hard top visor for the back window, and a tidy respray.

Engine bay is a different story... Haha.
