marcAB10 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Well put it this way i have never taken a dash off before on any car and this was a big thing for me but the guide was brilliant, not everything is covered but almost everthing is. When i got down to removing thedash from the car the alarm was hard wired into the dash and there was a few other wires there to, so i used a bit of masking tape and just simply put a piece on each bit of the wire and numbered them e.g. 1 with 1 and 2 with 2and so on. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=127044 Just have a go yourself you never now until you try as long as your not rushed to do the job and time is not an issue just try hope this helps fella. Cheers, don't feel quit so overwhelmed by the task in hand now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Looks good, did you take the original vinyl covering off to do it? If so whats underneath, plastic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thats a nice more modern look. Do you sit in your car and stroke your dash now ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j80leo Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Looks good, did you take the original vinyl covering off to do it? If so whats underneath, plastic? I kept the original vinyl on as the material is quite thin and it has come up good:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j80leo Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Very nice job:cool: did you use the material that you can get from Ebay? i did get some of that to do my dash panels in but due to an attack of laziness i only did one panel, must get motivated again. I got the material from Dean ( tooquicktostop ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j80leo Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Top job fella,well done:) The job is not as good as you would get from say Gibson Trimmers, but for £1000 i was not going to pay that, there are a few bits that i am not pleased with but for £75 its ok for now. what adesive did you use Evo stik multi-purpose impact instant contact adhesive as this does not come through the material and make marks on the side you see. You def need to do a write up on that bud It was a nightmare fella and it is not perfect job, very hard to do as there are so many different ways you have to put the material which causes wrinckles, its a bigger job than you think but i had to finish it, once you put the glue on you can not go back to stock so be sure if your doing it yourself;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_si Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 i think i might start with a smaller area such as the door cards and see how that goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
