Vinyl Spray! Im not a fan. My Skyine has a white vinyl sprayed dash and centre console... Some parts look really good! Although the lid for the centre console (directly under the sunroof) is all cracked, the aircon vents are slowly getting little bubbles (the heat must lift the coating!). If you consider what and where you are funna spray theyn it could be a good idea. I ended up covering my centre console lid in white leather (dad's a trimmer). If your existing dash is black maybe you could get away with leaving the aircon vents black, or remove them and take them somewhere that will do it properly as long as they can match it with the vinyl spray.
You can recover existing seats... You need to remove the current cloth tho. When taking the cloth off, dont just rip and tear it off - try keep it as intact aws you can. Once its off unpick the seems - that way you can use it as a template for cutting the new cloth. What are you going to recover them in?
Carpet is a big job. You need to get everything outta the car!!! Again use the existing carpet as a template for the new stuff.
lol Atm the only interior component in my car is the dash... The rest of its in the shed lol, so getting the carpet out isnt a problem :-D
Re-covering the seats in imitation leather or real leather if the budget stretches...
So you guys have sprayed Black or Grey dashes with WHITE vinyl spray? Wheres the best place to buy it from?
How the hell do I get the dash out! I've unbolted everything but it only moves like, 2cm out, and how the hell do i get it over the steering wheel?!
hahaha, dash is easy to take out man.Quote:

I assume you've taken off the cluster and the vents???? There is one 12mm right in the middle of the dash behind the top center vent (when you pull it out you can see it, just pry it off slowly) and there are 2 more 12mm one on either side of the dash, once you open the door you can see little square pop it off and there's a bolt behind them, and you're done :p
Just be careful when you disconnect the AC, i found it easier to take the whole thing out with the dash, there is a wire plug and a steel cable, unplug the plug and slowly pull the steel cable off, can't stuff it up man. If you need more help let me know
Sh1t lol i didnt take the cluster off first... wheres the aircon?
And when i took the carpet out, i found a box about the size of a pack of a4 paper on the passenger side near the wheel arches, bolted to the side.. What is it?????
the box is your ecu, leave that there. Hmmmm air con, above your headunit???? usually :p take that out with the dash and there is a plug and a cable 4 it.
Take off the vents (one on drivers side and 2 in the middle, the big black piece infront of the cluster and take off and unplug the cluster and that's pretty much all the wiring in one loom, appart from the ac one
I have an ECU?! I thought that was only for EFI engines? lol...
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :'( I cant get the bloody dash off!!
It keeps getting stuck on my indicator stick thingy... Do i have to take the wheel off?
Someone please help, ive only got 2 months to finish it now!
