Has anyone painted their centre dash section ie. the gearstick surround, heater vents and main centre console? I understand the RB5 has a blue gearstick surround and have seen a pic of a p1 with a silver dash and really fancied painting mine silver. Has anyone any pics for inspiration?

Thanks

Mike

 

not painted, but something a bit different to brighten things up:

 

When you say "not painted", how have you coloured it?

Mike

 

Mine is Blue as its a Limited Edition but has some black squiggly bits on it

 

alacantera trimmed mate

 

Would I be correct in assuming this is factory painted blue rather than being moulded in blue plastic?

Mike

 

Yes its Factory done m8 along with center console and instrument panel.

 

Need to change your "signed by" plate Sure that's Jimmy's autograph there also

 

here you go

 

i did the little vents on top of the dash also.. car is now sold so cant get anymore pics... easy to do just make sure plastic is prepped nicely.. lightly scratch it up with a scotch pad i plastic primmed mine as i believe in doing things properly. then sprayed it in BMW metallic silver.. applied laquer and then put it together and started smiling lol!!

 

Aye it is Bless him

 

Fantastic! That's exactly what I want. How easy is it to remove the panels for painting mate? I tried to remove the vents when I fitted my gauge pod but gave up as I was worried I would break them.

 

Fatmanscooby - Is the whole dash painted blue? Any chance of a complete pic to compare to the silver dash as I have a silver wagon with blue interior so either may work.

Thanks

Mike

 

Jus wondered how easy it was 2 cover with the alcantara mate?
