Converting 2 Tone Dashboard To All Black

[highwaycollective]

The guys at THQ posted a video of their TSI that they have just converted to an all black Caravelle interior. I have had a quick google and the door cards are easy to track down, however I cant seem to locate anyone who sells the replacement lower dash panels in black.

Also, the images I have found of vans with this interior all seem to have the "wine cooler" in the middle. I have a bench in the front, and would prefer to keep the regular centre console so that the person sitting in the middle has more leg room. Does anyone know if the black lower panels only come in the "wine cooler" configuration?

Both versions of the dash are available in all black, I have supplied several sets for various people on and off the forum but as new parts it all adds up to rather expensive, dash lowers + velle cards would be over a grand !

Ah thats good to know! I will let you know when I am ready to proceed and we can take it from there. I think it looks so much better that the two tone.

Its does indeed, if only the damn door cards weren’t so expensive !!

@Pauly is your man.

I've done the full Black swap..

Both door cards and the 3 lower dash panels.... no wine cooler for me as I has the double bench seat.

Just PM him to get your kit sorted.....

Sounds great. Random question, how do you get the lock in the new glove box to match your van keys? Did you swap the lock barrel over?

Lol.... funny enough....thats the one thing I've not done yet..

So far I have no idea???

Anyone?

I’ve never used the lock on my glovebox so can’t say whether it’ll be a full barrel in there, but the barrel in my barn door was just held in with a circlip.

You swap the lock barrel out of the original glove box into the new black one.

Using shuttle door cards may save you some money over going for the 'velle door cards.

Have a gander here: Beige Lower Dash conversion
