pa06has Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Want to do my dash in alcantana; anyone got this done? Im looking for someone to do it, But im tempted to buy some alcantana material and do it myself! Was thinking it cant be hard! Clean up dash / sand dash / cut material to fit / glue! What does everyone think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I think Wayne (Supradibbs) has this done in his aerotop single, he does the fitting to if I remember right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 that looks canny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Yeah, that looks pretty neat. The various aluminium rings on the group buys at the minute would set that off really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Yea. Ah, and rings around heater controls was corrected till now, I used cigarette lighter rings (2 punds/piece at Toyota). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 That alcantara looks great, slight hijack but has anyone pics of ones covered in leather. Been debating whether or not to get mine covered in leather, since I've hacked up my centre console I don't think any amount of rubbing back is going to get a smooth finish. Any reason why leather is a bad idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossco Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 You could take your dash out and two pack prime it, then its smothe and ready for you to do as you please. Have a look at mine the next time we meet Jay, its easy done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pa06has Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 How did you do the roof lining? - I may be tempted to dye my roof lining instead of the alcantana option! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 How did you do the roof lining? - I may be tempted to dye my roof lining instead of the alcantana option! If you have standard grey roof lining dont try it! I tried one of the sun visors and it turned out poop. Go for a covering and not the dye.

supra steveo Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 dont do it ive heard the roof liner absorbs the dye and it just looks dirty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
