Green Dash mock up.....
 
Well sellotaped on the suede like material to the left hand air vent to see what its like. i bought the sage Green stuff cause it was the only green they had hoping it wouldnt be too far off the Green Alcantara of the seats.

its a bit golden yellowy...if thats even a description.

i am going to do the rest of the dash and the eyebrow of my spare dash with glue to see if i like it. i can always put the Rhodium grey dash back in if i dont like it so nothing ventured nothing gained....

What do you guys think not the best of phots the second one a bit too much light in it...the green is not as bright as that in normal daylight..

Hi.dont wish to offend in any way but NOOOOOO!:D not a good look..sorry..If you found a better match to your seats then it would look way better.Just my opinion of course.

Have you thought about colour coding your dash to your car colour.Can,t see it being too costly to have it sprayed and would look very nice.No risk of the sun fading all your hard work either.

No offensive taken mate im not sure myself..the material is the only green they did....

my initial idea was to spray it Le Mans Green as the spare dash i have is a wood walnut one.

but i thought i would try and see what this looked like

Think it would look awsome sprayed le mans green. Would look great with your green alcantara seats.. Was quoted £100 to get my dash finished piano black.

cheers Nick...i dont think it would look bad if i still had the Grey Alcantara but looking at it more and more i see its a mistake.

You have to try things.You might decide you like it if you cover the whole dash.

I like the rhodium dash in my zt.It goes with the red bodywork on my car.I think a big slab of bright red on my dash would look naff and give me a headache.I do think certain colours look good though,yours being one of them.

If you had it sprayed it would give you something else to polish too:}.

Le Mans Green is the way to go IMO.
