chazuk Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Hey people I see these pictures of supra's where they have replaced the interior i.e dash board for a wooden finish or carbon fibre look also the handles and the centre console are all trimmed out in the same look is this a custom job or can you buy the kit if so any idea's where from Thanks Chaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castle Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 The wooden dash is a factory fitted option Carbon fiber is available to buy, there was some guy in the US selling them but i'm pretty sure Paul E was trying to work out a deal with him to sell them over here:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Carbon affect was also a factory option, mine had it. Paul did fond someone but you was looking at well over £500 for a set IIRC. Although Im getting fed up of waiting so might be able to sort something soon through a friend of a friend...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonB Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I'm sure Millhouse will be along in a mo to point this out, but check out the re-upholstery group buy in the for sale section. Those guys can do stuff like the doors, handbrake, steering wheel etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Dunk Shaw Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Make your own out of MDF :D I thought all the dash kits were blue peter style,,,stickyback plastic carbon fibre or walnut lookalike rubbish that will more than likely curl up at the edges and look crap. If you want a proper carbon fibre dash then your gonna have to pay as there aint know way of doing it cheap and getting good results. Exactly the same if you want wood the cheap route just isnt worth doing imo. Think painting the dash is the best option or if you really hate the inside that much buy a differant car thats full of wood :D Sorry but think wood effect in a mkiv looks Regards Dunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
