Does anyone know anywhere that changes dashboards?

I don't really know how to word it but as a few of you know, I pretty much have no glove box and want something doing with it as it's pointless. I also saw a Ka at Donny that had a screen moulded in to the dash. Well I want to do a similar type of thing but have no idea where I could get it done or how much it would cost. Tried looking on the internet but have had no joy.

Also want a couple of other things doing to the dash at the same time, possibly covering the minging greyness with the same leather as my door cards.

Below is a picture of the dashboard last year. It's changed a bit now but you get the general jist of things.

Thanks in advance.

For the screen, why not have a ride to a body shop im sure they could make somthing like that and mould it in, or have a word with alanman. As for leathering the dash, when you find somone that does it let me know as i want mine flocked.

Hmmm dont know anyone that just does dash's etc, However..... have you not tried speaking to a bodyshop? im sure most places that have done modified cars etc could mould in tv's / playstations or whatever else into a dash. just a thaught.. hope it helps.

Ok thanks guys, I may have a word with the bloke who did my re-spray. I was thinking about getting a red laptop where my "glove box" is but it isn't deep enough. Want a red ps2 aswell but would probly have to get one painted.

BTW, what does flocked mean? If I find someone i'll ask them at the same time. May have word with mother as she re-trimmed my uncle's old Lupo GTI seats in half leather, a dash will be harder though obviously.

Thats what I want doing on my dash and on half of the doorcards.

speak to a local bodyshop.. might be wise to buy a dash out a diff one and give them that so your not without a car

modified car parts

Give Source a bell ask Newth for details

b and t do some good fibreglassing on dashs

I don't want fibreglass, I want it covering in the same leather as my door cards, they match my seats too.

youll need a solid base to cover with fabric

Is a dashboard not solid enough in the first place?

You can cover the dash but you still need to attend to the glove box area. Flocking is when you stick things to another object using adhesion ie cover your dash with glue then tip glitter all over it

I have no glove box. What I do have is just gunna be flattened off and made into 2 cup holders. Gunna get a mount made for the screen and then get it covered in leather.

something like this

Not really no...
