Can somebody advise me of a UK supplier please. My g/f (the 924 owner) is visiting England and can bring a dash cap back.. comments about quality from personal experience would be helpful too. Thanks..

Hi, your other option is to go to Dashboard Restorations in Auckland (09 444 4211) and they'll rebuild and re skin it back to original for you. They do a lot of 924/944 dashboards.

Thanks for that Andrew..Makes it a bigger job to take out the dash tho. We were just looking for a quick-fix.

Andrew, I ended up having a good conversation with your friend who restores dashes..it was going to cost almost $750 but I managed to buy a near-mint dash for $450. I bit the bullet and swapped dashes. Looks good and certainly cleans the interior up. Dyed the carpets with RIT, replaced a few missing or broken fittings. Now for the exterior..

Is that the one that was on Trademe? If so, it looked pretty tidy.

I agree..it was in good condition. But no, that one was brown and I wanted black.

Cleethorpes, thanks, but I decided to swap dashes.
