Cool Custom re-upholstered dashboard.
The dashboard has been retrimmed in white leather and the plastics are replaced with a blue plastic. Add some white dials and you have a custom dashboard and instrument panel.
More...

What do you think of this then? Is this your thing?

That's nice...The only thing wrong here would be that it might be a bit difficult to keep the leather clean

Hi JosephX3 and welcome to TorqueCars. Nice to have you along. Does your username iply you are an X3 owner?

Don't know about the cost - it was just a link from a site I found. I think it was done by xquisite automotive in Croyden but I am not sure of the details really.

Alright JosephX3....welcome to the site mate. I should imagine the cost is quite high...but you pay for quality!

Default Re: Custom re-upholstered dashboard.
There is a technique know as flocking where your dash is covered with a finish that looks a bit like felt. It cost's about £90 per dash and less for smaller plastic parts but you need to dismantle the parts yourself first. I'll see if I can find an address or contact for you. Where abouts are you from?
