|  Walnut, Chrome or Carbon fibre dash
Which do you prefer? Walnut, Brushed Aluminium, Chrome or a Carbon Fibre finish on a dashboard?
I suppose it depends a lot on the car. My rover had Walnut and it looked good but the Audi would just be wrong with Walnut, I think I prefer carbon fibre.

I prefer carbon fibre, but it does depend on the car.

My Peugeot 406 had Walnut on the dsah and door caps front and back, exactly as does the 5 series. It's fake in both cases but looks nice all the same.
As for which I prefer I really think it depends on the car.
I do not like chrome though.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but are they wrapped? They look good either way though. | |

( they don't do it in the leather ) this was done by the main man Scott himself at Totally Dynamics in Enfield. The rest is a carbon fibre leather finish made by Hirsch of Sweden as will be the dashboard and steering wheel chrome trim. | |

The front spoiler, middle section of the front bumper, the side sills, and the rear spoiler will be genuine Carbon Fibre to be fitted in April when it is released for my model car!  | |

I think instead a vinyl I'm going to have a thin layer of actual carbon fibre put on top.
Looking forward to the finished product! | |
