I'm looking to repair my 924 dash and just wondered if anyone had fitted one of these covers?

I'm open to suggestions! :D

I'm watching a similar one with the red stitching to match the red piping on my 968.... but came across this yesterday.....

Looks like a "relatively" easy job if you've got patience.... :)

Can't open the attachment. What is it?

Not sure about the coloured stitching think I might just go for black.

Tempted with black stitching but I think its one of those to see the item first before deciding but at £130 its a gamble. They have the trim pieces for all over the car... sun visors, seat belt trim, door trim, rear quarter panel trims, centre console...

I do have a lot of mechanical stuff to sort first though.... and then a full respray :)

I've bought one, yet to fit as work gets in the way....I have fitted the glove box cover which fitted pretty well with a bit of pushing and pulling. I'm not 100% happy with the result - down to my skill rather than the cover - so will be removing and refitting.

Think I'm gonna have a go to fill the cracks and recover mine myself. If it doesn't work out there's plenty more dashes in a similar condition. So I'll be no worse off really.
