Has anyone painted their centre dash section ie. the gearstick surround, heater vents and main centre console? I understand the RB5 has a blue gearstick surround and have seen a pic of a p1 with a silver dash and really fancied painting mine silver. Has anyone any pics for inspiration?

Thanks

not painted, but something a bit different to brighten things up:

When you say "not painted", how have you coloured it?

Would I be correct in assuming this is factory painted blue rather than being moulded in blue plastic?

i did the little vents on top of the dash also.. car is now sold so cant get anymore pics... easy to do just make sure plastic is prepped nicely.. lightly scratch it up with a scotch pad i plastic primmed mine as i believe in doing things properly. then sprayed it in BMW metallic silver.. applied laquer and then put it together and started smiling lol!!

Fantastic! That's exactly what I want. How easy is it to remove the panels for painting mate? I tried to remove the vents when I fitted my gauge pod but gave up as I was worried I would break them.

Fatmanscooby - Is the whole dash painted blue? Any chance of a complete pic to compare to the silver dash as I have a silver wagon with blue interior so either may work.

Thanks
