Had my dash dipped.

Just picked it up today, hydrodipped in carbon effect. I added some stainless steel heater bits at the same time. I'm well happy with it!

Dani at Alfa Hydrographics in Nazeing done it for me.

Looking good

That does look nice mate and I like the handbrake cover as well. What seats are they? It looks like a nice comfortable place to be in, mine is still a bit plastic fantastic for my liking.

Thank you. The seats are Recaro SRs you can see them better in my interior thread.

New interior is finally done! Picture heavy

Oh yeh, I remember that post, nice work.

Looks like a great job fella! Your interior as a whole comes together really well.

Looks superb. Absolutely brilliant.

I love the handbreak too. Who did it please?

Edit: ignore the question. I see the link to the other thread

Wow that looks really good! Any chance you could share roughy how much they charged for the dash?

Looks great and so simple to do

Looks bloody good mate!

Thanks everyone. It seems really hard wearing aswell.

She charged just under £300 but she did say that it took her much longer than expected to remove the rubber coating that's on them from factory so she should have charged more.

I'm sure she would do the same again if a few people wanted it doing. I can always chat to her about a deal.

Would it not have been better to skin the panels on real carbon? At least that way the deception isn't obvious.

Very nice

What other options are there, I am wondering if it would be suitable for a plain covering too, ie much better than painting.

I spent so long trying to find a place that would actually do anything with the dash that the first person to come back to me I went with. I contacted so many companies, some wrapping, some skinning, some dipping. All of which were either really unhelpful / shut down / refused to do the work without doing the whole car / refused to do the work at all. My dash was out of the car for nearly 2 months before someone would actually do the job!

This company was the most helpful and all wanted was to give the car a new lease of life. I don't think the deception is obvious at all. You can only tell it's not real if you look at it in real detail. Regardless of that it looks lovely and new and modern which is what I wanted

It looks great mate, and so much better than that stick on crap. Picoto (off here) had his dipped by someone in Manchester, so you are not alone! Its a great option.

I ended up painting mine black. Its ok but clearly not a pro job, although if I can get myself over this annoyance it does have the advantage of being able to be touched up without pulling the dash off yet again....

I got a load done a few year ago they still look good although it was a pain pulling the dash out lol.

Full set of facelift dash panels

All vent surrounds including the long one beneath the windscreen

Both electric window surrounds

Both door handle cups

Both inner door cups

Ashtray

Fuse box cover

Brake res cover

Oil cap

Washed bottle cap

Fan shroud

It came to £325 all in which I thought was good value.

This dipping lark looks very smart... Must look really good from driver's POV

MattP that looks like a massive faff attack

Looks great, Karl!

Haha it was but I was swapping the dash and changing the heater matrix so thought I'd do it all at once.

Huge improvement on standard dash !

That looks really nice.. Mine is a badly painted mess but will get something done with it one day

Hoping to get my bonnet done, emailed for a quote lets see.

That would need a massive tank to dip a whole bonnet!
