   yeah, i dont see why not, probs would ahve to take it to a specialist. i think a saxo on here has the dash retrimed with leather or similar material.

   Yeah it is possible has been done often in show cars. Be willing to fork out at least £350-£400 for it though as it's not an easy job to do.

   also that thing that they do to WRC cars on the dash boards, (forgot what its called) to prevent reflection. like staticly charge the dash, spray it wiv glue and cover it in a layer of like fabric, and because the dash is staticly charged the strands of material stand on end. looks really good i think.

   yh but i got leather buckets, and soon my carbon door cards be here, so i was thinking black leather trim with white bits would look better to go with the seats?

    Flock it, by sounds of it your a slag? Track slag that is, personally flock looks amazing! Better then retrimmed leather imo and will suit no problems!
    
    And cheaper think its £100 if thah!

    slag? lol, well i agree to an extend, im actually half and half really, i like the stripped interior look with the carbon cards, but other hand, i love looks and thats why i bought leather buckets and not fabric, so i was thinking leather dash will suit and match as i loove evrything to match, but there again, ive never actually seen flocked dashes, but i bet the people that have them have got cloth buckets and not leather as flocked dash will match cloth buckets as flocked looks like swuede and cloth are similar looking
