Bulldog, you would be supprised just how easy it is to sort out on the marea. in my bravo (dash is pretty much identical, only diff would be spec) i have got black suede over the speedo housing and also on the passenger side, where the air bag or recess would be (had a recess so sorted that out) then sprayed the centre for all the aux controls body coloured... looks mint imo, well worth the time and effort
