Got the dash out of the wallye last mute to do the matrix. Thinking about flocking it, but have hear stories of it only lasting 1-2 Years and it shitting needles everywhere. So not sure. Price is another thing too. Any feedback welcome.

+1 to flock. As long as it's done properly it should last pretty much forever. Mine was flocked about two or three years ago, and it gets mercilessly abused. Been in and out of the car countless times, scraped about, left in the garage and still looks good as new. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

One other thing I would say - think carefully about which bits you get flocked. When mine was done they did all the bits - the little panels where the dashboard dimmers are, bits like that. It actually looks a bit crap where one flocked panel joins another, I found it looked much better and more professional getting the main dash flocked and possibly the glove boxes, but leaving the rest as is. Looks like you're trying to hide them otherwise, flocked edges aren't particularly neat. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Just because it's covered in plastic swarf and has been thrown in the corner of the garage doesn't mean it's not still beautifully flocked! ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

The Flock Shop did my dash in the Mazda, very reasonable price and quick turnaround. Witheld one item because he wasn't satisfied with the finish and he re-covered it and sent it to me at a later date.________________________________________ '99 1.8 XS - Sold'00 GTi6 - Killed by armco '01 Cabriolet 1.8 - Sold '96 Eunos Roadster 1.8 Import |
