Like so many import zeds (and possibly a few uk ones too?) my car has a dashboard panel that curls up wjere it ought to meet the windscreen air grille. I'm told this is due to being baked under the 'rising sun'!

 

When I had the ineterio re-trimmed I asked if they could sort this and, after a quick look they decided it was a massive job, stripping out the entire dash to re-build it.

 

This sounds like a load of old hairy bill hooks to me, has anyone out there in forum land done it? - Is there a way of lifting the windscreen grille and putting it back with a wider (say stainless??) trim to hold down the curling dash edge?

saw this how-to, might help...

Need to do it to mine at some point. How much did the interior re-trim cost?

Marvellous, not sure how I missed this but thanks for the help!

 

As for the interior - there are quite a few options - ie DIY with a kit (speak to Luke at the Zed Centre for supply) or send it to a professional upholsterers. I chose the latyter - cos I'm a lazy git and thought I could have something a bit different.

 

Cost me £1600 and took a whole zedless week, but I think you'd agree - it looks the business now.

that does look good!

I would agree, looks real nice, kinda retro.

It looks :cool:

 

Any more pics of the interior?

Looks great! What company did the work for you?

Steve :D

work was done by the guys at SQplus

If you do contact them, please tell them where you heard of them, as I still have some additional ICE installation work in hand and I'd like to keep in their good books!

OK, more pickies, but the 'burgundy' looks a lot 'redder' in these!

oops, only one attachment per post!

Nice interior!

 

What about the cruise control buttons? Have you relocated them?

ah, someone's read the other threads too!

 

I had a quote for £450 to mount the cruise controls and the stereo remote onto the steering wheel, then retrim it in matching two-tone leather. In the end I decided this was a bit too much and I'm cuttently pursuing alternative solutions (like making something up myself!)

 

In honesty, there are more important mods required still, so I have put this one down the priority list a little.

 

I'd still be pleased to hear from anyone who knows anything about hard wire remote controls for Alpine stereos though!
