I just had my own dash recovered in alcantara, it's pretty easy to take out, and the lower three bits, and if you prepare yourself with the right socket set you#ll have it off in an afternoon!!

with all this red thread all over your eyes you 'll be flying on track

just a comment, with all this beautiful alcantara all over the dash, the flat part on (where the radio, ac... are located) looks a bit...out of place. What surgery have you planned for this area?

Just beautiful. Did you have to use any adaptors for the 930 steering wheel? Where did you get it at? Performance?

Love those seats.

Looks really great,even if someone put the wheel on the wrong side.What did you cover your dash with,did you do it yourself?Mine has formed a" bubble",and I need to do something. Thanks, Jeff

Man, that alcantara looks so great. Great work. I especially like the stitching on the doors.

Thanks guys, but without everyones help on here it would not have been possible, especially finding the screw in the middle of the dash that is near impossible to get out or even find for that matter!!

The steering wheel was in when I got it so not sure if it's from a 930 or not.

I had the work done by a trimmer but I stripped it bare myslef to save costs and learn about the car.
