It should be, they use the same stuff MGR's supplier used. (Once MGR went, they were suddenly keen to supply it to dash kit makers!)

I'm not keen on the chrome effect radio trim so have removed it.
It just finishes off the dash, which will be complete when the Ebay steering wheel arrives.

Ron, where from and how much?

Looking good Ron

Was it as easy to fit as they say?

Took minutes to fit:

Cleaned the surface with Isopropyl alcohol, warmed it with a hot air gun and then applied the piece. Rubbed it down firmly and that's it. All are accurately cut and can be repositioned when warm. Once stuck down they won't budge.
He did me a kit for my 12yr old camper in August.

I think the price was about £75.

He will email you a sheet so you can choose the options to suit the trim spec.

Sorry, a bit slow seeing my PM box !
I bought the full kit from TOC. They had an offer for the club members for £65 if I remember correctly. (unusually can't find details in my file)
They will first send you a sample. Suggest you remove from card and place on your actual wood in car. Suggest caution, I thought match was exact and it looked ok in the garage when fitted. In daylight though it is slightly more brown than the reddish walnut in my car.
They will also send a template sheet. SIT IN THE CAR to tick all the boxes of the templates you require, not from memory, as there are subtle differences.
I don't think you HAVE to have the whole kit which includes the whole radio, air con panels, lights switch, all 4 door switches and, for the auto, a surround for the sport mode switch. (think thats it)
Positioning to a large extent is governed by the switches, push buttons etc.
Make quite sure they are not fouled by the veneer before applying pressure to affix. As per the instructions, wet a corner of the veneer which allows a
'little 'sliding around' before applying pressure.
Think thats about it. Just ask if I have forgotten anything. Good luck :lol:
