if ever your up this end of the world, pop in and have a look at it. it does look awsome in the flesh.

Flocking does look great, but i cant seem to find the kits online :S

They also have colours, maybe go with the red after all

Flocking expensive though, might be worth checking ebay...

Alcantara is the obvious alternative -- not that much more expensive to buy, but requires upholstery/leatherworking skills to fit. Lots on fleabay.

Think il be going down that route in the future, as im desperate to get the dash in asap...

The flocking looks good but i cant get a kit fast enough, and i dont have the alcantara skills at the moment lol...

Im going along the trimming route using the sub style acoustic cloth, a mix between felt and carpet that most sub boxes are trimmed in...

Its not the ideal, but the way i look at it is i can get my car drivable, and it will be a nice base to lay the alcantara over once i have had a go and got some expericene with some tasty alcantara...

Today ive been wiring up my vauxhall clocks... Bit of a nightmare without a decent wiring diagram.. I had to repair the loom that came with the clocks, and then trace the wiring from the fiat clocks, cut it out and join the relevant wires together..

4 Hours later and they are in and working

Well worth the hassle in my opinion...

(managed to get a pic while the clocks do their initial full sweep)

Remember to set the switch on the back of the dash to the FWD position.

I like it, tint whislt off is cool.

You having the whole lot in the colour of the acoustic carpet? colour coded inserts for the heating controls etc would look cool rocker cover colour or with a match to any interior you have

 

[sei16v]

The carpet stuff is black which will match the seats... Im spraying a few bits which will match the seats and rocker cover. Not really sure how much to spray until ive covered the dash and door cards lol.

dont go mad. think HU surround and heater srrounds would look best. perhaps a bit on door cards or door handles

dash looks good matey, very custom get flocking done, my turbo sei has flocking done to it and the feel is amazing, wasnt a DIY Kit i paid like £150-200 for it to be done, they staticly charge the fibres to make them stand up using a waterproof resin so the end effect is that its covered all over equally and feels soft and velvety

Sophie at http://www.southwestflocking.co.uk did the dashboard of my GT4, very good quailty and that dash is considered a large dashboard and cost £120ish including return delivery. You geta choice of flock length as well, I went for shortest at 1mm as looks very neat, but longer 1.5mm and 2mm can be had to have a fluffier alomst alcantara like finish.

A smaller dash like a Sei would not cost as much.

Lol there's not much left to spray haha.. only really have the electric window switch surrounds, the main dash part where the original speedo is (like a pod thing) and a few odds and ends in the rear...

My door handles are chrome, but i might colour code them depending if they look out of place.

I really want it flocked, but dont have the time to wait, or the cash at the min :'(

I've got a flocker at work sitting here doing nothing, your welcome to come and use it on a weekend but you'll have to buy a bag of flock in the colour and length you want. i've never used it, we did some prototypes using it then the job got sent over to china.

You're not planning to fit the cooker, too?

Thats an idea...

 

[sei16v]

Managed to do some more on the car today... feels like the jobs never seem to end lol.

Anyways, ive sorted the last of the wires out, mainly wiring up my headunit, components, tft screen and camera.

Ive also rebuilt my digital dash as the LCD was flickering. While putting it all back together i gave everything a clean... Looks like new now!

Ive trial fitted the speakers to make sure it all fits before trimming the dash, and so far so good...

Heres a few pics.

If you want to give up its no problem, just give me your address will be round to pick the car up tomorrow. might even give you a couple of quid for your trouble.

Not sure what was there to be honest as the whole dash has been made over the top, then having most of the original dash cut out...

I dont need any vents due to having no heater matix
