real wood dash?
Sorry for what might be considered a silly question, but...
How can you identify/recognise a real wood dash if it's out of the car & the passengers airbag panel is not available? SteveN

Another clue is there is no gap round the air vents with a real wood dash, with the plastic dash you could run a slot car race round the gap.

A plastic dash will have the airbag label,as a sticker,with real wood it is printed. Lettering

In his opening post he said the passenger airbag cover wasn't available so it was the other part he must have been enquiring about

The Airbag lettering on real wood dash's airbag sections are flush with gold lettering, whereas plastic ones have a badge with silver coloured letters and is set into the 'plastic wood'. The fit around the air vents is better with a real wood dash, with no gap between the plastic vent and the wood dash. Lastly the quality of finish of a real wood dash is far superior, depth of colour, polish and luster that is more akin to an upmarket car. Early car up to around 2001/2 were fitted with real wood dashes but more details can be found here, with pix of the two dashes http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ad.php?t=34369 Last edited by RodgerD; 2nd June 2015 at 14:23.. |

I have often seen this "gold" description referred to , but on my 2001 conny with real wood the flush airbag letters are silver
