Default Classic interior - wrapping?

I recently purchased a really nice, low mileage MY99 classic Turbo 2000 & I was wondering if anyone has had any luck 'fixing' the inevitable scuffs & scratches on the dash & centre console? I've seen some carbon parts (£££s) & I've seen good results from vinyl wraps. Any advice would be much appreciated! 😊

I think you should find that some of the guys who do dent removal etc should be able to fix the damaged parts......

Plasti dip paint often fills minor scratched panels well

Thanks for the suggestions - I'd forgotten how hard & 'scratchy' the plastics are in a MY99 Impreza! 😊

That is good to know! I've come across some interesting options such as carbon skinning, vinyl wrapping & even a real leather cover for the centre console!

Check out his threads as his work is amazing
I'm going down the route of carbon interior but not as outrageous colour
For the interior

There was some pictures of interior pillars a couple of weeks ago from Locky

I'm not sure I know what 'flocking' is but it sounds like a type of spray-on suede! I've cleaned the plastics & carefully used a mild cutting compound on the worse scratches before applying a plastics & rubber conditioner & they look much better already & still original!! 😊
