Default RS1600i Dashboards

Quick one.. which dash did the RSi come with the complete dark grey or the two tone I have one of each both mint but ones come from a 1 owner ghia I just picked up for parts to finish my rebuild. At the moment there is a twotone dash on ebay advertised as RSi and people seem desperate for it. isnt that the wrong one for an RSi....
Cheers Rich

Dark grey mate, the two tone ones were from the ghia models

But you can always paint the ghia dash so they look like a RSi one

Will be selling one of them but not till I have tried to find a colour match.
Think I have an old shagged dash in my shed so will have a play over the winter with some model paint etc. will post the results on here.

You don't have to paint them, apparently the lighter shade of grey on the Ghia dash is painted over the dark grey (as 16i) so all you need to do is remove the light grey paint. Someone (Mandy) on the RSOC BB has done this so best to ask on there what she used.
