Ok guys, I hated my dash in my Jazz, here in the U.K the dash, radio, clock surrounds, heater vents, steering wheel and ignition shroud are painted a horrible blue/greyish color, so i thought what the hell why not paint it, black and silver i love so i got to it, anyway what do you think, BTW excuse the mess in my car, i've only just finished it so there is some tidying up to do,Oh, and a new steering wheel is on the cards.
Anyway here is some pics,

 

not bad but now you have a tri color dash

 

How tri color, it's all black and silver.

 

When I first read the header I was frightened to see what you had done to it.. But I was very surprised and you did an awesome job!

Kudos!

 

well, it definately sticks out but to me it looks a bit busy inside. but aye man it doesnt look that bad. Whats up with your steering wheel x.x

 

Looks great. Do you have a before pic for those of us that haven't seen a U.K. stock dash before? Just curious to see how bad it is.

 

Before pics.





Fitftw, the steering wheel was removed so i could paint the dash correctly, just waiting for my boss kit to arrive so i can get a new steering wheel which will also be black and silver, also hoping to get the seats retrimed later in the year
in black leather, i will also be installing heated seat kits up front.

 

ic, wow im actually jealous. Looks like you guys get cooler steering wheels than us lol. I like your e-brake too, dont tell me thats stock too

 

The E-brake/Hand Brake is a Momo, this one,
Momo Italy Pit Stop aluminium handbrake handle.
It takes some modification to your exsisting handle to fit it, you need to sand down the diameter of your existing one so that the Momo one can slide on, i say slide on but thats not quite right, you still got to force it on, but it dose go on as you can see.

 

Yup. Much improved!

 

I thought...Hmmm...looks pretty good. Till I saw the original. Wow! It looks much better now! I'm with you on the factory colors. Looks MUCH better in black and silver.

I'd be buying a steering wheel too. Our sport models are silver and black and leather wrapped. Would work with your theme.

 

The pics are not that good TBH, i've had a good look over it this evening and it has come out really well if i do say so myself, I did have a little guidance TBH, my mate is a spray painter and he gave me loads of advice before i started.
Although i'm really happy with the results i probably wouldn't do it again, there is a load more work involved than i initially thought and trying to put it back together without scratching it was a real pain and and a worry,

But......... It's done now, just need to get rid of those blue seats......YUK.

 

You did a great job - looks perfect to me. Made a lot of difference and just looks more tied together.

Cat :x

 

Agreed 100%

 

man, the origianl color was disgusting. yours is so much better. not only that, but it looks like you did a great job too.

 

Looks great, but your steering wheel is on the wrong side. Might want to have that looked at.

 

Not a fan also it kinda sticks way out and says CD PLAYER HERE STEAL ME!!! ( kinda stupid for me to say because I would hope everyone would know where the cd player was located if they planned on stealing it in the first place )

 

that and its a factory unit that nobody cares about

i agree, it does stick out a little much. however, i still think its better than the original.

 

Me too...I was thinking...okay...what 17 year old painted up the dash some hideous color. But looks great!
