Hi

I have purchased another set of the wood effect dash panels as I want to paint them, I think the wood effect would look ok if there was other panels around the interior to match so I think just the dash looks out of place.

I can see how the facia around the clocks are removed, a simple pull will do it i think but its the panel in front of the passenger airbag I'm not sure about.

Can anyone give advice on how to remove this please, whether its just a pull off or battery disconect and airbag removal etc etc.

Many thanks

 

also cant decide if to paint them satin black, gloss black or carbon fibre wrap

If anyone has a piccy of a dash with carbon wrapped facia panels i'd appreciate a look please

Oh yeah cars black, interior is all black leather

 

Here's carbon fibre.
Here's piano black.

I'm a huge fan of the idea of black leather interior with gloss black trim bits and a bit of chrome here and there. Add to that those late-model Sport Premium quilted seats and door inserts, and it reminds me of Bentleys.

That being said, I also quite like my interior. I think there's quite enough wood, now that I've added the steering wheel and replaced the plastic ashtray lid and gear surround with the wooden ones from an automatic model. I also have the wood trim on all 4 doors, it's just not visible here.

 

appreciate that thanks, deffo the carbon wrap for me :-)

Just need to know how to remove the airbag cover

 

There's a how to from the UK forum here How to: Wooden dash trim can't see it being any different for left hand drive apart from being a mirror image

 

Thanks appreciate that, it was a good link and i'm from the UK anyway :-)

 

I too am looking to replace/cover my wood trim as I think it looks out of place with the rest being all black.

I recently had a chance to view a 2006 X-Type with the Premium package. It had all black trim with factory Carbon Fiber on the dash. Looked excellent.

I have been searching for a kit, but they all seem to come with every single trim piece in the interior...just looking for 4 pieces. Shifter surround, ash tray, air bag & upper dash.

 

I got some really nice quality carbon effect from M3, looks and feels almost like the real thing so going to cover them myself this weekend.

 

Please post pics when you're finished

 

Yeah will do :-)

Should look like this - https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...n-fiber-46776/

Using the same 3m carbon as in the piccy

 

Hi guys I know this is an old thread but has anyone tried fitting S type dash trims on an x type ?
specifically the trims behind the steering wheel an ld the above the glove box ? I found a real slick silver dash kit for a S type sport and was hoping to fit it to my x type and and applying wrap to the rest of the trims to match plus a little bonus In the form of an Adamesh chrome shift knob.

Any info would be greatly appreciated
