Painted some parts on the dash and centre console...

[rickyquicky]

Finally fitted the parts back I removed from the dash and centre console today!

Painted them in Black Gold to match the exterior of the car, I think it suits the interior pretty well...

looks great that mate how did you get the top bit off?

Looks good but needs vents, dash strips etc done to tie it all in.

I took the dash top off, its pretty easy to do if you read a guide before you start that tells you where to find all the screws you need to undo, had it off in 10 minutes.

I know how to take the dash off cheers thought you had seperated it from the dash lol

I wanted to keep it as OEM as possible, but just liven it up a bit inside.

I do agree though the vents would match it really well, might take them off and give them a coat

A lot of newer cars now have gloss black surrounds on everything, our Corsa VXR does, finger prints are annoying though!

Haha sorry mate.

I did seperate them, but you have to take the dash off first, flipped it over and used a scapel blade to cut away at the plastic bits that are melted together to hold it in place.

You could maybe do it without taking the dash off, but I didnt want to risk cracking or breaking anything

lucky you. I need to get that part on my dashboard replaced as the heat over here has taken its toll on it.

That looks really good. I'd defo do all the other bits to tie it but a job well done IMO though

 

[Ciaranh182]

That looks great ! If I had the balls I'd try it myself, get the dash strips etc matching and will look perfect, should have been the styling from factory in my opinion ! Alot classier & modern

 

[rickyquicky]

Ok so a few months later I want to re-do these lol.

I think the BG stands out a bit too much for the interior.

Any suggestions for a good colour, that looks as OEM as possible?

Silver? Anthracite? I need some advice!

Really like the gloss black look... did you do the door grabs to match?

Nice thread bump mate.
