I have the original catalogues at home so will check it out 
Think Jambo might be right there? There was a reason I didn't get it for the B at the time, might have been cost back then though  I was poor

I don't know what the feck i'm doing jase I want to sell it then i dont....
I'm currently thinking... tidy up the interior so it's neater (hence the thread) and keep it throughout uni as its cheap to insure and good mpg .etc Then get something more bigger .etc
I think i may just get new dash bits in the plain black and keep them  I'm not keen on the shit silver i sprayed it 2 years ago

Just a veneer, "carbon effect".
I'd keep Betty through uni, tis what I've done with mine, trust me, you'll be glad of what you save on petrol/insurance/tax.

i used to love the fumes - ever so ghetto... and i just remember spraying them up and as soon as i put them in it all cracked
I've decided against selling it for the moment.... shall keep her and sort out a few niggles to get it tan-tastic  and as Ash said i think it'd benefit me more than a thirsty car throughout Uni.etc 
Still curious about this console i was sure they did a real carbon fibre one? I'm tempted to go to vauxhall to find out how much a new dash would be i think it'd be silly prices

Get your dash flocked instead. About £100 and will look good.

stark motorsport do it. think they are registered on here. You'd have to ask him as the pics on their site only show the main bit of the dash flocked, not all the vents, speedo cowling etc...
