That does look pretty nice. Looks like a good alternative if I can't be stuffed getting mine repaired/or buy new ones. :)

One must remember that a light coloured dash top can be nightmarish in bright sunlight as it will reflect in the driver's face.

good call, I cant imagine how bad a white dash would be.

Try driving with a single piece of white A4 (8.5"x11" letter for you north Americans) on your dash in front of you. As soon as the sun hits it, its all you can see in the front window.

Quotedid you put leather over your burl centre console (ie is it still under there?) or did you put the leather over a lesser piece of material.

Nathan,
The leather is over the wood which was cracked and chipped. I have another, but its from a lesser model and not burl. Looks a lot like stripey wood-effect laminate. My plan is to try creating replacement wood trim in local timbers, when I have some "spare time". Apparently I will have some of that one day.
