dash trim colours

Post by Matty »

What colour parcel shelf should go with a white speedo panel?

The rest of the of trim is tarten red/ grey fleck, so I pressume its either red or fleck?

Ive search on newtons site but they don't seem to list any white speedo panels or dash liners which is odd, does anyone know if they available else where?

Thanks
Matt

I had the same problem with mine, when i ordered my door and rear quarter panels in tartan red from newton i asked the same, they sent me some dash cards and the shelf cover in the lightest shade of grey they do, they are vinyl covered and dont look right at all. I was just going to use them for now, in the hope i can find some good second hand originals one day.

At least im not the only one thats struggled then!

Aren't the dash panels the same type of material/colour as the headlining and C pillars?

This is a picture of the dash in a 61 car.
The parcel shelf is very similar to the dash panel, but a more plastic finish. Also looks like the roof lining. ;)

Thanks for that picture Iain, it does look alot like the headlining material.

I might attempt to make something up if I have no luck finding some decent ones.
