Right, after seeing several recent threads on people vinyling their dashboard, I fancy doing mine!

But I don't know if I fancy carbon fibre etc, I was thinking maybe suede?

But not sure what would suit the car.

Obviously all ingredients needed are easily accessible off eBay.

Something like this:



Going into mine when I have the time:yum:

Suede or Alcantra.

That abarth dash would be really hard to mimic simply because of the red stitching.

very true, I brought it with out thinking i would have to fit it lol. It was the first time I saw one up for sale so I got it haha

Must have set you back quite a bit?!

That's gonna be a ballllllllaaaaache to fit?

wasn't cheap considering I only want the leather part.

But at least I don't have to worry about breaking the old one getting it off. And I will be able to grind off the plastic welds on the Abarth one as it isn't fitted so I can get behind it. Hoping all goes well haha

Surely would have been cheaper to buy leather?
How much did it cost?

Yes It would be much cheaper but then I would have to get it stitched as well. also I don't have to go through the pain of wrapping the old trim.

Cost £100 for the whole thing.
Quite alot I know, but who cares. might as well send money while I have it. haha

That seems quite cheap?? I was expecting that to be more tbh. Where from?

£100! I got to the end of the thread with the figure of £800 in my head! Think you got a bargain there!

Just been having a look on ebay and seen this one -> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fiat-Gran...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c20308ce1

Although it says GP, am I right in thinking they have listed it wrong and its actually for the Evo? Seems a bit too rounded to fit the GP.

Yeh for the whole dash and an Abarth it is cheap I guess.

And yes that dash trim is for the punto evo sadly as looks to be a nice material and colour

Haha you know the first time when it was done in Carbon Fiber looked good but im just well picky and I saw one fault and ripped it off lol.

And the leather well you know how that went :bang: but this should go nicely just a bit more hands on but still not hard

You know:yum: I did think about it but then I would have to replace the whole dashboard and not just swap coloured trims. Just the thought of doing it makes me cry haha
