LJ 0 Posted February 1, 2006 Sounds stupid ... so thought I'd ask anyway :-) My C has a black interior but the rear shelf is an MDF stealth shelf. There's nolonger any ICE in the car, so I want to replace it with an original black shelf. Now if I sourced a grey shelf and dyed it black, do you think it would look alright...? Kind of a mad idea but thought it may work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmn 0 Posted February 1, 2006 yes you can, i did it, some nice fabric dye adn lots of it, it will take time though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Joe 0 Posted February 1, 2006 I retrimmed my grey shelf in a black acousic carpet, both top and underside. If you take your time like I did you can produce results that I personally think look better than original and you retain the shape of the shelf. Only cost about £25 to do!

LJ 0 Posted February 1, 2006 Thanks for the replies. Not such a bad idea then :-) Then I just need to find a black panel to cover the rear hatch area, where the spoiler motor is housed ... as mine is missing :-( Or spray a grey one black... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Not_Aircooled_or_Taxfree 0 Posted February 1, 2006 I made a crappy shelf for my Polo years ago with blue carpet tiles and MDF. I sprayed them with some mat black spray paint and it looked fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
