Are we allowed to say flocked on here lol
There is a tremendous amount of cutting involved and it's very hard to get it positioned correctly because almost nothing is right on the dash to receive it. I would not recommend you take this on unless you are very confident you want to cut your dash up, have the right tools and a certain aptitude for practical stuff!
Nice job there Mattsvan, certainly not a job for the faint hearted!
Hi Matt ,how did it work out at the bottom ,do you need to make a modification .
@Rich the left and right vents are slightly bigger at the bottom ,but this could be trimmed back ,also in the back of the vent there is some black foam ,that is much bigger on the gloss vent ,so the dash needs trimming or lose the foam . @Caravellet6 has offered to let me look at his dash ,I will hopefully know then if the center vents will fit
Yes you need to mod the bottom but I've not worked out how to do it as yet. Site won't let me upload photos at the moment so I can't show you but I'm not pleased with it. I wouldn't recommend you do it tbh as you have to do a lot of cutting and it's not a great fit. Caravelle's have a slight cut out above the glovebox to allow lid to pivot upwards which van dash doesn't have and there's no way of making that happen and still look pretty. I'm going to price up complete velle dash and do it that way if it's not too pricey. Vents on the outside of the dash will need trimming at their base at least, centre ones in stereo surrounds should be fairly easy and probably no trimming but I reckon instrument binnacle will need modifying so I'd say either whole dash swop or leave it alone and just do gear surround mod with cup holders and bottle holder etc as that's a great mod but carpet cutting is unavoidable!
