Hey guys,
putting the feelers out there seeing if anyone wants a custom dash done,same as whats in mike's (sikvlt) wag.pretty sure you have all seen it.
Do the centre console aswell.

I can do it any colour you want,shave the pen rail on left hand side,take the texture out of plastic etc etc,how ever you want it.can fibre glass any cracks or unwanted bits,and fix the ever failing VL plastic panel that sits above steering wheel,the tin panel usually breaks away from plastic lugs.

Let me know if your keen,be better if you can supply dash and parts yourself.
I will supply all materials including paint,unless you have your own you want to supply thats kol.
Cheers
Kelvin

hey bud,love the VLs on those rims in your profile pic, very kol!!

i can do anything you want with the dash,check out the pictures on brothers thread.
fill the pen rail with bog then fibreglass if wanted.
sand the texture out of the plastic parts(where i can get to) the dash pad itself is a material so i coat it in special primer so paint will stick to it.
Can paint any colour,if you give me colour code or sample of body colour i can do that,any gloss level,
mike's sikvlt (my brother) dash is full gloss and it does glare on screen sometimes but its no biggie and doesnt blind ya.
hope that helps,feel free to ask away if your still unsure.
questions welcomed
Kelvin

SIKVLT · 17-05-10, 15:45

jrw287 · 17-05-10, 17:06

yip the dash is smoothed,as for rounded edges and filling the dips??not with you there
,what edges you want rounded,and what dips?
you mean on the top crash pad or the edges on plastic bits round vents etc/
as for fibreglassing the heater surround etc yea peice of piss,its a matter of giving me the measurements of screen and guages going in so i can do cut out and strengthen edges of cut out.
