Hi all
I posted a message in the Group Buys forum to enquire if any Mk1 GS300 owners would be interested in buying a wood dash kit to cover the existing black plastic facing on the standard dash.
No one seems to want to make them in the UK so I sourced a supplier in the States who was prepared to make some up for the UK spec cars.
Only catch is the minimum number of kits they will make is 10.
If anyone is interested let me know.

Have they not all got wood already or is it only the sport that has it.

i've also managed to do the vents at the edge of the dash as well...........

The kits I have been looking at provide a cover to all the areas of the dash that are black plastic faced, in addition to the wood facings that come as standard.
Do you have any pics of yours Jaybo as £22 is a bit cheaper than £85.
Although if I fitted a kit I would use the special 3M adhesive that enables you to remove whatever you stick on if you want to return car to standard spec for any reason.

i'll sort some piccies out at the weekend for u mate
as for fitting the film if you use a hairdryer and plenty of patience it DOES look the biz'
but don't use the cheap film as its absolutly ***p and you'll never be happy with the results........... TRUST ME !

as for removing it, again just use a hairdryer to gently warm it up and slowly peel off leaving no glue marks at all.........

I posted details in the Group Buys section of the General Forums and only posted again here as I had little or no response.
