Wow! That looks loads like my mates wallpaper, which, quite honestly, scares the sh*t out of me ever since taking mushrooms at his house. It started moving see....

Anyway - is the Lotus interior flocked? I noticed its all felt inside. It looks nice, loads better than the VX interior. I fancy getting it done (right after Iv fixed ever other damn thing wrong with the car!!!)

[VXJON]

Hopefully it looks good the guy doing the the retrim works for a WRC team

[luna_s]

heh actually it sounds like a nice idea, be interesting to see the outcome

SFS

very good & pretty cheap flockers

my mate had his Scooby done and it came out really nice scabbynet thread here

although his dash board looks a tad too "Starship Enterprise" with all the gauges

[Baron Von Scubadaddy]

If there is a nice cow hide I might get the dash done on the .... white one

That website helps to explain things How much do they charge for a dash? It doesn't mention whether the finish is UV stable tho Do you know of any in the Midlands/Oxfordshire/Berkshire area by any chance - google/yell aren't helping

CBC are in Banbury, they have a very good rep among the RS mk1 & mk2 lads. Not extortinately priced either!

only trouble with flocking/alcantara on the dash is you have to hoover it to get the crap off rather than wipe & also just about everybody that gets in the car goes "ooooh" and touches it......

Cheers mate

I found their site just after the post above - Didn't realise it was that expensive tho - £125+vat for a 'normal' dash

I'm going to email them to get an idea of price for dash, pod, door cards and dash trim plates when I can find a decent photo to show them

I'll factor in the price of one of those hand-held vacs too!

(might get my spare NA wheels powder coated black whilst I'm at it )

i would imagine for one of our dash boards it'd be in th £80 to £100 mark i suppose. Their turn around is pretty quick but i think SFS is a bit cheaper

[VXJON]

Iam paying under £100 for my dash/cards/console and the little handle guard thingies( + the price of a new starter button due to my heavy handed removal At that price if any of the bits look sh*t i can strip them down and have it recovered or painted again



My interior last week





This week

I have seen a few cars with this done and thought it looked If you don't mind me asking how much is it costing ? I have been thinking of Alcantara for a long time but have never got round to it

[covert ops]

I was thinking alacantra too, not sure which would look better or last longer??

I was inspired by Steven Flappy who if I remember correctly had the dash and stack pod in red alacantra

(Also what will either look like if the car leaks, which it does sometimes?)

Even though some will consider it pricey I think M8VXL's site do alacantra dash's and doorcards.
What I liked was that in some instances they do exchange or swaps so the car is not off the road too long!
