Split colour dash works really well, the glovebox area down being black really is the right balance of red v black, especially with the detailing on the door cards. Love it, can't wait to see it up close at the weekend! Are you sticking with Turbo alloys now or do you have another set lined up for PV? They look tiny in comparison to the Rotiforms and million others you've had on recently :lol: :p

Cheers mate i like the split , if I'd of had the dash done to the bottom the centre console would of looked odd if I'd of had that done doorcards would of etc etc no mate these wheels are just body shop wheels , wheels will go on when I've detailed under the arches and painted the calipers.
