My never ending search for decent interior bits goes on.
Have picked up that Graham goode do a decent carbon kit which looks good quality for £150. Rumour has it that they do the same thing in Aluminium.
Anyone got one? Pics if possible please.
Cheers

R we talking about the surrond bits of the dasboard, vents etc here or the bit that is on the very outside of the dials behind the persects stuff?
Either way £150 buys a lot of nice paint & time if yer guna have 2 take the bits out either way i'd b tempted to just prepare & paint it myself in whatever colour floated my boat most
Si (still with relatively dull plastic bits but guna wait till next car
till i get the paint out 
)

Si,
These are replacement dash bits not stick on or painted.
I keep thinking about spraying but I'm not a dab hand and after time the paints gonna get scratched off surely?
Agreed £150 notes is a good wedge of money but if it does look like pukka brushed ally I'm gonna be tempted.

Oh 'ollocks, looks like it's either carbon look or spray it yerself then. There must be somebody about who makes these, perhaps I've found a gap in the market or perhaps there is no market?!
Si it's the trouser type thing I'm after but for post MY97.

SeepyScoob - how's the search going? I bought one of those stick on type surrounds and they absolutely cr*p! Want the same as you some brushed alloy type but replacments not stick-on's. Painting may be an idea as I think folk paint them then cover them with some other kind of clear lacquer - don't know what though?
Let me know if you find a place that does them

Doaney,
I've been on the case for ages and have had no luck
I bought one of the stick on ones, took one look and sent it straight back, I am loathed to spray it because I won't get the right effect and I'm rubbish with a spray can.
Ho Hum the search goes on.... and on....

Am I right in saying the carbon fibre surround is £150?
As I can't seem to find it on the Graham Goode site and I don't wanna phone them cos I'll know I'd want to buy it there and then!!!!!!!

SeepyScoob - Scooby_si has a good point - that I may investigate further. I'd like to have my air-vents painted the cool grey of the car - should look smart. Fairly good at DIY but not sure about spraying.
TwoHot - $185+VAT+delivery for the 12 part real carbon fibre replacment parts from Graham Goode by the way

Ive been looking into this a bit for my MY98, there a various kits about.....
Dash dynamics do stick on kits for about £80 but they are not very good quality and can peel off..
Nitosport do complete exchange panels which look great but are more expensive they send you new carbon look dash parts and you send your old ones back to them. see http://www.nitosport.co.uk/
Graham good also do some which are made from genuine carbon fibre weave or aliminuam and sticks on existing dash panels.
Regards,
BAH

I thought the Graham Goode stuff was replacement panels too???!
If it is stick on stuff is it genuine Alu or just pretend?
Also thought they didn't do them anymore see threads up above.
Somebody tell me if they've got one of these pics if poss.
Cheeese then

Grahame still do it mate - the price I quoted further up was for a MY99 dash and it from a fresh email off them - real carbon fibre and I don't think they do another type.
They only sell it as a compete kit as well so if you wanted just a few pieces that's not possible.
I get the feeling ther're direct replacements.

when i spoke to them yesterday, the guy said they were genuine carbon weave or alley plate 3M backed to stick over origonal panels, but they are allready molded to the correct shape so they fit right on without bending them.

Don't you have to take your old panels out first and send them to Nitosport b4 they send their kit out, or do you do that after you have fitted your kit( which seems more logical).
Let us know how difficult a job it was please

BAH - can I assume NitroSport sell the panels individually ? Guess this is real carbon fibre as well ??? so they probably don't do a brushed ally one?
I purchased one of those Dash Dynamics kits and it ain't what I'm looking for - to tacky and looks far to fake!
