Dash styling kits

[day tripper]

are you on drugs? hahaha, I think the fabia rs dash looks nice.

have the Skoda plastic wood kit on mine.. was on when I bought it (demonstrator) so not really any choice...

Would I have spent money on it myself... maybe

The other option, with a little time, is to remove the bits you want and laquer them in the appropriate colours... may work, may look naff, but a lot of the "silver" you see in stock cars these days is just silver painted plastic.

Or use sticky back plastic like the guy with the yellow and blue sierra did on Clarkson ages ago.

The nicest interior trim (not sure if you can get similar on the Fabia) is the black marble effect that my dad's L&K octy has, really works well (especially as he has full black leather).

Sounds good, you got any pics?

[tavia4x4]

Umm, can get some when I next see him... or kick him into signing onto brisky!!

It's neat... has pieces along the door leather as well, in surprisingly marble looking plastic

[EddyH]

I'd also appreciate some pics of the door cards as I need to get mine re-covered to match the seats I would like to see how it's stiched etc. in the L&K's.

BTW I've not forgotten about the towbar just been too busy at work.

NP.. figured you wouldn't be keen to be outside in the freezing weather at the mo, and I'm in no hurry

Will get some pics at the weekend...

Yeah, I washed the car at the weekend and it iced over on some parts before I could dry it. :eek:

One part of me says get the carbon effect dash kit and the other side says what are you thinking it will look tacky... Has anyone got any pictures of it?

Its a lot of money to think at the end..."nah its cruddy, lets remove it" Seems ridiculously expensive though. Whats so special about it that it costs

Have got two Fabia's, one with a carbon fibre kit on it (looks OK if you don't work with real carbon fibre all day) and my one has a titanium style kit on it. This is like a wood effect but in black and grey and many people comment on how good they both look. Make sure you check the kit you are buying, some are too thick and sit proud of the dash whereas some are quite thin and sit in and end up flush with the dash. Both kits came from Butt's. Pictures to follow tomorrow.

Do "butts" have a web site? I'm not familiar with that name and I won't describe the hits i got from google when i searched for butts :-|

That looks really good however I personally would like it in a slightly lighter silver to make it stand out more & not in a carbon effect.

Hi Matt thanks for taking those gives a good idea of what it will look like...How much did you pay for that? and where from? (If you don't mind)

Also where else does the carbon fibre effect stuff go?

Cheers.
