I recently covered the top and bottom dash rails of my Elf, using the vinyl from Newton Commercial.

Similar to Minisports but I had to cut the templates first.

The method I used was to buy a big bag of pegs from Wilkos , I clipped the vinyl to the dash first to see how it would lie and used a hoppy knife to cut the holes for the vents/switch panel first.

I then used Evo Stick and applied to the dash rail only I then positioned and clipped with the pegs the vinyl as I worked from the drivers side to passengers I used a sponge to flatten down/position.

This was my first attempt

Thank you for your help

I will try to use the same way to wrap my lower dash,

The most difficult will be to bend the vynil on the round corner..
