Buy a Vauxhall.

Seriously though, I wouldn't bother.

As above it will be better not to do it, will peel off like a scratch card.

 

[Mr Plums]

Do the trims to match the dash.

 

[sprentice]

if you really do want it done, i'd probably say wrapped will look/last better! still better of leaving it, or subtle painted, such as what @MrTom suggested!

You should stop thinking!

You should stop thinking!

He probably thought about it.

Just think of your retinas on the first sunny day driving with a painted dash.

Colour code the trims if you want colour.

Flock the dash if you want to dick about with the dash

Did mine in mondial blue to match the body. After about 8 months realised it looked tacky so changed to plain black to match the grab handles and speaker covers. Done the speedo surround since as well.

decided to follow this route cheers bro .. now to find some nice dark carbon wrap

 

[jamesycc]

Cheers. Save yourself the hassle. I painted mine black as it was looking a bit ropey. Black rarely looks wrong.
