AB Motorsport or WMMS could put you in touch with a couple of places i'm sure, although i wouldn't have thought it cheap. Let us know what you find!

Central Blast Cleaning in banbury are as good as you'll get, not cheap but good enough for most works teams.

Last time I spoke to WMMS they quoted me £75+vat for the main dash and centre console in the 205. I've seen the work that they're supplier does and it looks like good quality to me!

yea i'd like to see some pictures if anyone has any. has anyone any previous experience of it?

I had my dash flocked by O.LL.E. Engineering near Cardigan in west Wales. Top job, and even better price.

The main dash was £25, the dash clock surround, centre console (around the heater etc), and the steering cowling was £15. He does a run on them every now and then, when he gets around 10 dashes.

When he did mine, he had 6 or 7 Mk1 and Mk2 Escort dashes to do, so that helps keep the cost down.

I still have'nt fitted it to the car, so I'll try and post some pics later.

Not my car, so sorry no other pictures. But it's just standard outside, think it's black. It's a rolling project.

But I'll hope that my car will look something like that within a couple of month.

Vacuum cleaner / brush. Believe me it gets much dustier in a rallycar.

 

After asking a few people it seems that around £100 is the going rate for a proper job. The only problem I see with a group buy type thing on this is finding a slot when everyone can remove the dash a the same time, or being able to get "spare dashes" to flock.

The suffolk one mentioned earlier does seem to get some very good reviews.
