Finally got the car back on the road (waited almost 5 months for parts :( ). So finally got around to taking some pictures of my new interior. Also did a webpage on the dashboard which I've had in the car for quite a while. Really pleased with the results! Big thank you to Wilbert for putting all the effort in! :D

I noticed your steering wheel centre....the Opel lighting bolt emblem....this is the one that I want!! Any idea where I can get one?

Thanks

Hmm, from what I see in EPC it is part of the airbag you order? Doesn't look like a seperate part.. You could try and make a sticker?

Very impressive indeed. I want some serious amounts of alcantara in mine one day. Door panels first as they're a bit manky and then seat centres. I need to find a Wilbert in the UK!!

To finish it up you should cover your instrument binnacle also with some alcantara. But not that easy... Why did you fill your vent holes? Or you just didn't like the look of the recessed vents...?

Not long had my door cards, dash plates and console re-covered in alcantara, and was sooooooo tempted to get the full dash done - but thought it might have been a little OTT....

After seeing your dash below though - I realy wish I'd had it done now. :(

Maybe, but the tricky part is the shift light up there.

I filled out the vent holes because the collect HUGE amounts of dust, and it is difficult to get rid of. Now it is no problem anymore :)
