Looks good :) Am tempted to buy a can of red and do the same now! Did you rub it all back and prime or just clean it (for the dash part)? And how does the finish look up close?

haha well the finish is actually mint...

i sanded the bits down primed it till it was proper white, then sprayed it about 3 coats and plenty of laquer. shelf in the bak i got material from the market cost 3 pound odd and some wonder web ( stuff u hem clothes together with) from the pound shop stuck tht on nice and firm, so it didnt cost much, sprays were from halford buy 2 get one free so primer spray and laquer. cheap job but i think it looks LUSH! haha

i never actually tried it at night, drove down the road a bit in the day, and then took it off - never put it back on. i just assumed it'd be ok at night!

could try sticking a darker coloured mat on the flat bit that covers the dials. should help

Looks tidy (y) but as arc said, nightmare come summertime, i actually took it out of my last cinq due to glare it gave :eek: although i think pete got around it by keeping a mousemat in car same colour as he sprayed the surround (y)
