pezzler Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 The dash panels are pretty simple to remove, there are a couple of guides with pictures on here somewhere - the first time you do it, it should take you no longer than 30 mins to get them all off. Be patient with the connectors, if your car hasnt been "messed" around with much, then the connectors my be a little stubborn, dont pull on the loom to get extra purchase when trying to disconnect a connector Best off painting the dash in my opinion, the carbon covering looks like it would eventually give you a headache. If your dash still has the rubbery covering on it, and you do decide to paint the dash, you will need to remove this; you should be able to get the rubber off with thinners and elbow grease Good luck, remember to post before and after pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staples230uk Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) Have a look at Dave's photos, he does carbon wrapping if you decide to go down that route. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?251812-how-to-carbon-wrap-a-dash-panel&highlight=Dave He did mine, and does a quality job, nice bloke too.

markybhoy86 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 i got mine painted black- much better than the old rubber shit thats on it. looks fresher, to much carbon can look tacky imo M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
