Looks good! I was worried you got an early model dash like the red one.

I did notice some leather material missing at the far edge where the cap goes. Maybe you can patch in a little leather if you have some left over. Also, ensure the vent overlaps the dash, and it remains overlapped as you screw down the 5 screws evenly. If it doesn't overlap properly you'll get a bulge, notably on the passenger side. There's a fix for that if you have this issue. ...

Good luck and post some pics with it installed! Cheers!

 

I was just lucky. In my mind the one with more studs was the newer. Luckily I never found it

You are completely right! I was noticing it while taking the pictures. I wanted to wait to have the car back before doing any "work" but it seems clear me now that I can start working on those. I do not have any leftover but I think I can recover some leather from the back of the dash. I will take a sharp cutter and do my best.

On paper is clear, thanks! Now I need to see when I mount it if I make a mess or not...

I will! For sure.
Hopefully I will be able to work on this the weekend of the first week of December.

 

Really easy and straight forward

Close to final result (well... somehow close)


Done!

 

Looks superb! well done.

 

I am really happy (even if the leather grain is slightly different from the vinyl on the upper part of the doors - stupid me that I did not think at that one) most of all since I did all the replacement by myself (well, not the dash).
