hi would anyone be interested in carbon fibre dash board for a series one turbo,have been looking in to this for a couple of month the more people interested the cheaper it would becomes, as they have to make a mould for the first one which costs then they become cheaper as the mould has been made,how many people would be interested

im guessing you would need quite a few people to get the price down to a reasonable level


i love the look of carbon fibre but not sure if a whole dash would be too much

PDH11R

dont think you would need that many,depends what you think a reasonable amount is,it would be better than looking at a dash full of cracks and having to cover the dash ever time the sun is out (well thats not very often then) seen a 3 door cossy done and looked real nice at castle combe

from what i saw them carbon sierra ones did not sell like hot cakes
on ebay, and i would love to see what they are like with the sun shining
off one right into your minces when driving ,they do look good though

what you need is grey flocked or somthin,now that would be differant

as good as it looks


i couldnt justify spending that and im not shy of spending a few quid on me s1

i had mine flocked, its a personel taste thing i guess

gus that looks great, do you think it could b done in grey??

flocked dashes are used in motorsport because you
dont get screen glare

PDH11R

the guy i spoke to on the phone said it was about £800 for a one off, but if more people interested the price would come as we could all share the price

I'd have thought you'd be limited by most owners wanting to keep a S1 dash original?

gus

iTrader: (1)

i think you can get the flocking done in most colours


who have you spoke to about doing them then? (pm if you like) i have been seeking bits for a while, found quite a few very good carbon chaps


i have seen the 3dr dash (thinkit was ford fair on display) the quality is outstanding and i know it takes a hell of alot of man hours to do a single dash, hence the price

PDH11R

hi gus where did you get yours flocked and what sort of price,not worried about being standard as there are to many standard i want to be different from the crowd

gus

iTrader: (1)

that dash went in the bin after i changed me mind on lay out of things


doug at suffolk flocking services will sort you out, done excellent job on mine

mine looks like this now (excuse crap photo)

gus

iTrader: (1)

i have a set of carbon fibre ones

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

ahh right ,

i could be tempted into a carbon fiber dash ,

my only problem being that ill no doubt have to hack it up a lil to get all me clocks and gagues ect in ?

hence why im lookin at standard dash flocked when im happy with it

what about mk 3 carbon bonnets ??

anyone know where i may get 1 ??

iTrader: (1)

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

i wouldnt take anything away from the people who done it before me ,

its a shame its sutch a good colour on mk 3s lol

i just dont want white to be honest ,

want something different


+ a mate of mines painting his s2 moonstone , so we kinda got the whole twin thing going

lol

Can you not get a Matt Finish laquer to reduce glare???

I maybe interested in one of these for mine depending on price.

Wazzzer

you could do a matt finish on the dash with just the resin but it wouldn't look anywhere near as good, in fact it would probably look shit and tacky

MarkN

That's a base model plastic dash. Can they flock the high spec vinyl covered ones?

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

im sure they can flock anything mate as they use an adeshive to bond the fibers

not the material isnt important ,
