I saw a picture of a Gp.N car at TSL that had had the dash and wheel flocked; perhaps they could point you in the right direction?

Central Blast Cleaning in Banbury do it. I think it's £80 for a dash. Seems very reasonable to me. I've got a phone no somewhere or they advertise in Muttering Nudes.

£80 sounds pretty reasonable...

Presumably thats with the dash already taken out?
I'll also need to take the cage out of mine too

If you find the number, can you PM it please?

Cheers

Is there any reason for it other than the look?

It gets rid of any glare off the dash that directly blinds you or reflects on to the windscreen and I would imagine that it helps reduce cabin rattles a little (from the dash obviously)...

Anyone that has it care to comment?

Seeing as Ive already been quite helpful; whilst it looks nice whilst its fresh its a bästard to keep it looking presentable...

You're on a role Simon

I've read that regular vacuuming and an occasional wipe with a damp cloth keeps it looking good...

Fee Muir... you suggesting that I'm mucky?
