It is tempting.. I have spare doors, bonnet, wings etc so I could flock them but then it just leaves the rear quarters and the roof which would have to stay flocked. Unless I vinyl wrapped it and flocked over the vinyl..

It's not what you know, it's who you know ;) ..unfortunately I don't know any painters who owe me a favour! ...flocking on the other hand...
Oh and I would only need to wrap rear quarters and roof, which I can do myself.

Trouble is you would need doorcards doing too or it would look odd. What would you pay for a flocked dash?

What E said ^^^ My dash is going to be modified at that, so would be nice to cover up all the wounds :)

I'll speak to my cousin and find out how much he would want to do it. I'm not doing the flocking myself anymore.

A dash would be £95 flocked and delivered. I have one spare dash here, if I strip it from my spare car and take it for flocking it will be £145 delivered back to you.
