   Hi there people! i have a 1.1 Saxo Desire lol.. have put alloys on, a yellow stripe down one side, a big bore exhaust and am intending on lowering but need to sort the rubbing out first.
   
   For now i want to spray the dash the same colour as my car exterior, along with the plastic bits on the doors and all the horrible plastic bits really.
   
   Was woundering, any1 done this? how long did it take, and how the f**k do u get the dash out?

   i wouldnt bother with the dash tbh, its quite a bastard. u need to get the centre console out, airbag/steering wheel off, dials out, window wiper motor gets in the way apparently then its just bolts from the inside in the footwells and the out side on the firewall behind the protective lining.
   
   imo i would just spray the other bits tbh dependin on the colour (what colour u thinking?)
   
   to spray the dash you need to rub it down and smooth it down as its textured
   
   - upload an image by loading it on photobucket.com then copying over the img code
