A20 LEE 0 Posted February 6, 2005 Anyone seen a carbon fibre dash facia + instrument cowl? Thinking about having one made and possible getting the door handles done to match. It would be genuine CF not plastic! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 10 Posted February 6, 2005 Saw a polo G40 last year with a full carbon dash made by All Smiles, quality was excellent, as expected from All Smiles... Don't think it was cheap through! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A20 LEE 0 Posted February 6, 2005 Give richard @ all smiles a call... 07970422554 Richard's working on a custom part for me at the minute. Just wondering what people think of a carbon facia. If its popular i'll get it done, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimjam 0 Posted February 6, 2005 I honestly think it could look a bit naff. I tend to find carbon fibre items suffer the same fate as Burberry check. I don't mean it's chav - I mean that even if it's genuine, people just assume it's fake. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dubster82 0 Posted February 7, 2005 facia... hmm not sure on that, carbon never looks too good on tiny areas and theres not alot of facia to cover. i was meant ot have my glovebox done by now but never got round to doing it, tho will when i do my dash swap. i love the mirrors tho. as for facias i always wanted to get a custome metal one mate in like a brushed alloy, say from a laser cutter or something, but its quite a tricky piece to do Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil VR6 0 Posted February 8, 2005 Those bits look awesome. So did you have them custom done or are they available to "Joe Public"? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neil VR6 0 Posted February 8, 2005 Now you're just showing off! :lol: I thought you had to have an autoclave and all sorts of specialist equipment? (Or do you have all that gear!!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted February 8, 2005 I'm planning to spray some of the dash area in brushed alloy over the summer, plus redoing the glovebox door in leather, but this is still at the planning stage. Same with the engine cover etc, time permitting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
