Styling Walnut Dashboard

[Mike Dickins]

Does anyone know where I can get a wood dash overkit for a Fiat Marea 2002 model with Aircon (climate control - ish - in so far as it's any good)?

I know you can get it for Bravos, Bravas and earlier Mareas.

Oh, and is it worth it, or does it look horrible?

There was a discussion on this on another forum I use and people who had used them said they loked tacky, were impossible to fit straight and started peeling Let's face it, a bit of plastic is never going to give you that nice Rover-like feeling anyway. I say go for the colour-coded spray option to either the interior or exterior of your car

nice Rover-like feeling anyway rover wood is plastic!

I'm with Sammi on this one. Walnut is just too.............flatcap and rover.

However, if you really fancy it - its a pretty easy job spraying it yourself (and looks a lot better then the overpriced sticker set). If you really fancy the walnut, you could go for something similar with a crackle effect paint http://www.plasti-kote.co.uk/Site/productsdetail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=10#

I did mine recently in silver

Thank you all for your advice. I think I'll give the wood a miss then!
