mcma1,..Be VERY careful where you use alcantara, especially if it's a wear point, somewhere where your hands are going to be rubbing it etc. I reckon it's terrible stuff,..gets flat/matted etc with human sweat /easily scuffed with wear etc,...I'd never use the stuff,...maybe ok on a headlining, but on car trim?..No way.

Yup here what you are saying. To be honest I just want to try the lids to see how it fits in. Andy

Really happy with the panel, everything 'clicked' into position so job done. Just need to get it blasted, then decide on the finish. Reckon I will paint it Corris to tie in with the dash fascia.

Looks great! I think Corris would be good, not quite so bling and with your dash centre fascia being Corris (if I remember correctly) it will tie it all together. Thumbs Up James

Quite like the tool path look so not going to rush. As soon as I have the brakes etc in I will get the dash out and get all the wiring completed and the console test fitted, then send it off for a retrim.
