Default Colour coded dash

Hi

I've seen dashboards in trophy or firefrost a few times and always assumed it was an owner mod. However there is an xpower grey ZT on Facebook with a red dash and red insert seats and it says that's the factory interior? Is that how some were just ordered special or was it certain models? Curious!

It was part of the monogram program Dawn, you Gould get British racing green, copper leaf red or royal blue for the dashboard and gear surround.

Belongs to member Alex (can't remember his forum name) - I remember seeing it at the National at Hollycombe and thinking "If Apple made Rovers ….". All done to a very high standard and quite impressive looking.

Love it! Looks classy!

I'm just about to embark on changing mine from Black Oak to wooden Walnut, but I think this one looks even better!

Genuine factory ones are very hard to find Dawn.

I've got a Firefrost and I'm quite fancying a change from the technical grey dashboard and am starting to think about an alternative. I've seen carbon fibre dipped but the red dash I do fancy.

I tempted to get a spare dash and gear selector then get it painted and see how it goes.

Easily done, far better than the technical grey that was fitted 👍
