   hi guys. i have a posi blue mk2 furio.
   
   i have a set of 205 1.9 gti speedline wheels on it in anthracite.
   
   been thinking of getting a show cage, just wondering what your opinions are on what colour to go.
   
   anthracite, white or just leave it stainless?
   
   opinions wud be appreciated

    flocking
    
    aka electro staticly charged and coated in microfibre's to give it a fuzzy finish.
    
    looks good tbh
    
    Rally cars have flocked dashes so they dont have a shiny finish to glare sunlight in the drivers face

    ive just had a look mate. theres a place that does dashboards for £120.
    and they are recomended by fast car.
    so would imagine that it would be less than that for a show cage
    
    seen as its not too expensive could be interested in doing door cards and roof lining aswell

    Flocking is FTW !! Banbury flocking services or banbry how ever you spell it do flocking from rear view mirrors to dashboards, give them a call
    
    hope this helps
