Dashboard modifications

[Lord Mfwic]

Our Comfort Dash bits are shiny. I wish they weren't!

My glove box is shiny but the bit by the gear stick is matt. I would prefer it shiny.

@BiTurbo - did you manage to ask the question re: LHD version?

thanks v much

An attempt at wrapping, using the 3M brushed alloy vinyl.

What I learned was that it doesn't stick very well to the slightly grained finish, air bubbles keep appearing. I should have sanded the panel flat first and it would have probably keyed / stuck better. Also the finish is quite matte, whereas the VW trims are glossier, so might try some lacquer before peeling it of and starting again !!

You need to use a 3M primer first mate.

The time is getting closer for me..

I dont think ill be attempting mine either

I'm half way through the mod now, in fact I've only got the dash to fit. I've cut the top and sides away just the bottom edge to cut

How have you guys secured the bottom of the glove box, glue? I was thinking of making some pillars that attach to the original clips.

If you cut along the line between texture and smooth ,you will end up with a thin strip ,I put glue behind this which secured it .
Once the glove box is in place you put back in the screw that was in the bottom of the original box before

Thanks Mate, it's been so long since I took the dash apart I forgot about the lone screw underneath.

Have you finished the inside of this strip yet? Thought you said you were going to out some felt or something.

Have had this sent to me today and have been given the Ok to post it here.
This glove box will be available mid February, comes in gloss black, grey dash finish or smooth finish for painting /dipping. Prices will include the vent trim to match.
Requires no cutting of the dash one tray out, one box in. Comes with a 240v euro electric plug or usb sockets.

No didn't use any felt ,the cut was good and it didn't need any thing .

Thanks. I found a genuine one on here and have fitted it now. Very easy to do and very pleased with the results.

Think I will wait until the top tray cover is available too.
