hodge Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I fancy covering my dash panels in Alcantara. Has anyone done this before and if so what did you use to stick it down. I'd imagine spray glue would be used but thought I'd check with you guys first :-) Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaky Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Looks like they sell some crud on ebay, There are 3 main versions of current stock. * No backing which will stretch known as trimming grade. alcantara call it "panel" * then there is a version with a white cloth backing this is for seats so a upholstery grade. alcantara call it "cover" * then there is a foam backed this is again a trimming grade but is meant for panel work.

Abz Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Don't do it please John! Leather with white stitching would look so classy on your beauty! If you gotta do it, then try doing something like this to break it up http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Jacco%20Willemsen/Car%20Features/RJ%20CLS/CLS%20Dash%20Close%20W.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not doing the whole dash just the panels as Wayne has done in the Previous post to yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were going to doing to do the whole dash, hence I said break it up a little. That is the dash off a Mercedes CLS, so maybe not the best explain.

Konrad Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I've done it on mine old Supra and altough it looks nice at the start, novelty is wearing off pretty fast and it is terrible to keep clean, I would advice against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
