Leather Covered Dash

Has anyone ever fitted one of these ?

Never seen it before, but it looks good to me.

There have been a few posts on these previously, but I dont think anyone has tried it. Personally I dont fancy it, however, I have purchased a couple of gear lever gaiters from them for a couple of Passats in the past. they have been very well made and great quality.

was it easy enough to fit ?

Greeners · 15th August 2016, 09:48

Are you pleased with it ?

I'm assuming that's a grey one with blue stitching ?

BigBen · 15th August 2016, 09:56

Yeah, pretty simple. Just used spray adhesive and took my time.

It took me about 3 hours in total - but that's including waiting a good half hour after I disconnected the battery.

Didn't mind giving it a try as the dash was cracked below the right centre vent anyway

It looks better than the photo - the leather matches the look of the centre console really well.

Biggest pains were trimming and sticking round the vent holes and the centre vent fresh air thumb-wheel control, and making sure the stitching lined up all the way across!

I'm quite pleased with it - what I should have done, though, is remove the "Airbag" oval and either stuck it over the top or filled and flattened it off first

Might be worth checking the TF/MGF boards, some have tried I believe. A few of the gator suppliers are now selling these. Would suggest fitting a set of these to a ZT/75 would be easier than a TF/MGF.

Reckon the end result would be good, given you can specify colour and stiching etc.

I don't think I would have the patience to get the job done well enough, but at least one can do one of our dashes a piece at a time?

Gosh, people will supply anything. Actually for a ZT this could look extremely smart if leather and stitching matched the seats and car colour. A neat fitting job would have to be carried out for it to look right though. Looks OK above
