S2 Grey Alcantara Dash - Now Black!

Post by Edin430 » Tue Dec 28, 2010 11:52 pm

Hi guys,

Just thought i'd flag this nice easy mod - I had the older style grey dash on my Exige and have never liked it. Had everything else in the car covered in leather and was thinking of doing the same with this piece but was advised against it for glare purposes.

After speaking to a GT3 owner who wanted to do the same with Alcantara in his car, I bought a £10 can of professional fabric dye off the internet and today I sprayed it black myself... Looks like a new dash and took only 20mins to do! It's now jet black which looks so much better in the car, really pleased with the outcome!! 8)

I know most people on here couldn't care less about this kind of thing but for anyone interested in doing the same please just shout and i'll post some more pics/details. Works on all Alcantara parts so worth thinking about this before paying to have it changed/refurbished in future!

Cheers
Lewis

Will do :thumbsup

Really thought it was going to go horribly wrong or end up looking rubbish but it's perfect - and people that know me know how fussy I am!!
