b16gnr Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Well after no luck getting a second hand carpet set I decided to dye my old tired grey ones, using carpet dye and leather/ vinyl dye for the arm rests and crash pad and I’m pretty happy with the results, just the dash left to do. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John (Kernow) Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 What a difference Wayne looks great! Are you doing the side panels as well? Would be good to meet up for a run out and look at all the changes. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Malone - Editor Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Looks great! Any chance you could post up the details of the leather dye you used? I have a grey dash I'm considering trying it on before I fork out for a new one. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
