flocked dash

[domsclio182]

got round to putting in my new dash today,not to sure about the colour at first,but the more I look at it the more I like it,just wondered what other peoples thoughts are.

 

[daveski]

I'm not a fan of the colour. Why not black?

 

[Gareth]

I don't like the colour either I'm afraid.

 

[domsclio182]

Wanted it to match the rest of the car,I wanted it the same colour as seats ect but it came back this colour,only takes 20 mins to fit so put it in to see what I thought,I know everyone wont like it,but it is growing on me.

 

[JackJack]

Should of got black imo.

 

[welshname]

thats going to look manky really quickly

 

[mx1_champ]

im not keen either tbh, black would of looked alot better

 

[Revels]

Not a fan of that at all..

 

[Mcaff]

mm not a big fan would like mine done black tbh.

where do you get this done and how much ?

 

[domsclio182]

Ok so everyone likes black,just had a look with the sun out and its even lighter,may even dazzle me lol,I do like the colour,maybe not ideal for the clio though.Will get one done black as well.

Mcaff it was done by SBP flocking cost for black is £60 plus post

 

[olliewebbuk]

Yeah, ruins the car tbh.

 

[Chili Red]

Sorry, but that looks weird..

 

[Wests Renault]

good to see something different imo, would look better with the lower dash done too

 

[.Andy.]

I like looks different man! Like the wheel too! What is it? If you dint mind me asking

 

[domsclio182]

Ah something positive,I know black looks good,but this is a bit different and I think I will leave it in for a week maybe and then make my mind up.the wheel is a oreca from ktec.

 

[Kieran..]

Needed to black tbh

 

[kerry-w]

Looks nice, should get the lower part done too Not too sure if it wil get very dirty very quickly though?

 

[aldo_87]

Your original idea of dark blue sounds good!

 

[Paul172sport]

different, but hey thats a good thing, always good to see someone trying something new

if you like it, go with it, its your car at the end of teh day

 

[Stenny69]

i like it too mate ! ... might be hard to keep it clean though ! haha

 

[domsclio182]

I think you lot are right about it getting dirty very quickly,will have to dye it black if it starts to look to bad.

 

[KMB]

This looks very high quality, but I would have chosen a darker colour.

Just seen the price, £60 seems very good value.

I Think Ive Just Thrown Up In My Mouth! .. Hate Flocking! .. I Thought It Was Just Vw Virgins That Rated It

 

[DrR]

Looks very well done, but not to my taste, surely having white flocked dash defeats the point in it?

 

[Munson]

W.T.F.

 

[domsclio182]

its not white but is very light grey.Think it may be dark grey by tomorrow

 

[Gandi69]

Surely using black flock is to reduce glare. White flock is going to make it worse than a normal dash?

Yeah that was the point i was trying to put accross

 

[Tigger]

Looks a neat job but would suit a lighter-coloured car, the colour you went for in a a Black car is a "bit" odd if i'm honest. Also the glare issue was first thing I thought of when I seen it.

Fair play to you I say for going for it, and GOOD LUCK keeping it clean!

Wonder what it would cost to do the bottom half of the dash

 

[P17 TOO]

How do you get on with the passenger airbag when you flock your dash i.e. would it still work???

 

[domsclio182]

Decided to change the colour,not black,but I think this better suits the car.

 

[Russ_16v]

Much better

 

[Vicky.]

Like that much more. Good luck keeping it clean! I still can't touch mine without getting black fluff all over my hands.

 

[Ash87]

Much better

+1

 

[Cerrone]

I like this quite alot

 

[P17 TOO]

Post #30...anyone??

 

[Silent_Scone]

I know it's same old - but it does look far better in black! Much more OEM..

Each to their own though, I think that colour would grow on me tbh

EDIT: Just seen the update, looks MUCH BETTER !!

 

[JackJack]

Post #30...anyone??

Afaik yes would be the same as standard.

 

[KMB]

Post #30 is clearly the work of a baffoon, which is why nobody bothered to answer - Why should the flocked surface of the dash have any impact on an explosive charge propelled airbag bursting out of the dash.

 

[P17 TOO]

Don't know that's why I asked

Cheers JackJack for answering my clearly idiotic, baffoon like question!
