Never done it myself, seen a few DIY ones and they never looked the part. Curvature of a dash doesnt need to be huge to see the shoddy workmanship.

I would advise getting it done by someone whose work you have seen/inspected from previous jobs.

Yes unfortunately :cry: :cry: .The "Flocking" on the dash to the right of the "Brake bias adjuster" is courtesy of M SPORT ( Ford WRC team) :lol: :wink: :lol: :roll: :wink:

It is self adhesive and used by them for similar applications :roll: :wink: :roll:

flocking is a fine art, i wouldn't give it if you have no idea. I had a go after watching my mates and cocked up my 172 dash lol.
