First a look at my initial mod to my dash (back in January)...
The dash before its initial transformation.
The underneath portion after lots of fat trimming.
The open end piece of what is left from the defrost duct.
After some more weight trimming.
And now the new/old finish after a fake suede like material was glued on. The problem with this set up is it wasn’t going to look good that long. Indeed we already had to fix it once or twice.
Now for the newer finish and some extras…
First we plastic welded some plastic to close off the endings of the defrost duct.
Then we used some expending foam to block off the holes that made up the original vent outlets. These were later trimmed down. You can also see that the upper surface was taped over with aluminium tape to hide the round cut outs.

To further secure the round cut outs a thin layer of hot glue was added to bond onto the aluminium tape.
Then two small aluminium right angles were riveted in place.

Finally the final product of the finished dash. Because I don’t have the pictures showing the actual process on how the material was applied, I can tell you a special black glue is first applied to the dash and then it is taken into a small paint booth where the material is sort of spray painted on.
