Nice transformation. For the lower dash rail, i'm guessing they would a pain in the backside to recover in vinyl, doesn't take much to remove them, have you thought about painting it black?

Before i bought new black dash rails for my car, i had a go at painting the original grey top dash rail in halfords black vinyl paint.....

Finish is really durable too with it being flexible paint, won't crack or flake off apparently.

Looks can be deceiving. It just epically failed its MOT getting a total of 16 fails and 8 advistorys and has now made me very broke indeed.
