Wanted - ZT Dash Trim - Anthracite (or Black Oak!)

M3NDEREZ · 10th January 2009, 10:33

If anyone's breaking a ZT, or if they know of one breaking in the area, I'm after the Anthracite dash trim to do away with the wood in my 75. If anyone wants to swap theirs from their ZT, I'm more than happy with that too! Any help would be great..

Black Oak is one trim that is rarer than rocking horse droppings I'm afraid. If you do find a set then there'll be a lot of people next to you waving ten pound notes

Good luck - you may have to be very patient.

To be honest, I've kinda given up on the idea of the Black Oak, it's just a bit of a joke really.. I'm primarily after the ZT grey / black / anthracite dash that's quite common.. I sincerely love my 75 but just can't get on with the wood!

The shiny dark grey dash on the ZT is Rhodium and the later grey sandpaper finish is called Technical. Either one would be from a breakers for a full set.

Thanks very much for that, I was sort of struggling between Black / Grey & Anthracite for a decent description.. That's exactly what I'm after.. so it's Rhodium - Superb!

you know, I actually hadn't thought of that - Wonder what that would come out like? Has anyone ever done it before? I'd love a Gloss Black trim..

With that in mind, if anyone has a spare standard trim I can have and do a bit of experimenting on, I'm all ears

Shame it's not complete, but could be a start.. Incidentally, is there an image anywhere of the Technical trim?

Unless I've mis-read it, it's the complete upper dash and the eyebrow...the only other bits are the ashtray assembly...everything else is other stereo unit or black already. Although you may want to paint those to match as well.

.......other bits still available new from Rimmers and XPart Parts dealers but not cheap.
