marcAB10 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 well, i finally finished painting my dash and dying my carpet (a big thanks to Jamsey W for the free carpet dye). The Dash took a lot of patience to do but the carpet was so easy! i need to buy some new matts and get the steering wheel and gearknob retrimmed black with red stitching to finnish it off now. I took these pics straight after i finished so there's some finger prints, also it's a crap camera so the colours are a bit off but tell me what you think. this is what the carpet used to look like- and this is the new black carpet and black dash- keep the black dash? opinions please.

AlexM Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Just to be different, I think it looked better when the carpet was grey - broke the colour up a bit. I'm undecided on the dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcAB10 Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 do u mind if i ask how much? £1280 for the full retrim (rear seats, front seats, door arm rests) Gibson said they could match the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the carpet was very easy to do, the hard bit is taking the carpet out but even that only takes about 30mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcAB10 Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 Do you have to take the carpet out mate:taped: I'd say yes, it's a pretty messy job, and you'd have to take the seats out either way. Not talking the carpet out would probably make the job harder tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
