Hello all.

Can I get the top of the clock dash cover separately from the rest of the top of the dash?

Specifically I am after the big that covers the top of the clock.

Rubbish picture here

It’s plastic welded onto the main dash.

Thats what I feared. Thanks Matt.

Here’s one I fucked up earlier.

This bit? I always assumed they just pull off lol

 

[Matt Cup]

Nope they are welded in these spots annoyingly.

That makes sense, I thought some of the tabs on mine looked a bit melted for some reason. Hard to believe the previous owner went to all the trouble of stripping the dash and then painted it with all the finesse of a 5 year old doing finger painting 🤣

Is there anyway of refurbishing them and keeping the OE look?

You can remove stickiness with elbow grease spray, I got bored and used hg sticker remover which removed the paint too 😖

Don’t be me.

Mine's not sticky, just worn out so there's no coating on part of it (it's from where you arm goes to press the buttons as it's a sat nav one)

In that case then repaint is probably the only option. They are a metallic colour though which might be difficult to paint match.
