Jay Kay Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 I've tried a search to avoid wasting people's time but drawn a blank, so, has anyone bought and changed the cover to the storage chubby abover the radio? I've seen a car I like but around the push button area it's pretty scratched up. Is it an easy job or expensive part? Thanks in advance Quote
Wizza2000 Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 You know what mate i was looking at mine today and thinking same thing Might wallpaper mine they must make some sort of stick on kit for the dash i reckon, Quote
Jay Kay Posted July 16, 2015 Author Posted July 16, 2015 I had thought that (not wallpapering!) But it's textured and wasnt sure how much work is involved in getting it flat enough to paint or wrap it. Or even how to get the bugger off Quote
SHEZZA Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Yep was gonna say get them dipped. Here's a link to some interior bitsthat were recently sold. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/97802-hydrodipped-carbon-goodies/page__hl__dipped Quote
Jay Kay Posted July 16, 2015 Author Posted July 16, 2015 Looks a good job but I'm more for the stock look really. Not sure that you can still buy them from Nissan? Guess you probably can but I sespect they cost more than you would expect Quote
Wizza2000 Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Blimey that looks a great job really impressed with that finish from photos. I'm also after stock, so looks like the usual suspects - scrap yards or ebay for second hand parts Quote

Jay Kay Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 Think I saw your build thread on that, looking good! Is it ease to get the chubby cover off then or a bit of a faff? Quote
Juggalo Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I used Plastidip on mine and it's an exact OEM match. Even my brother who is the most critical OCD perfectionist didn't spot it. I used Satin black cellulose first, but it looked crap. So opted for matt black plastidip. However, you can find the covers mostly in the USA on ebay. I've rarely seen them on the UK one. Expensive for what they are. Quote

Tinyflier Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) Think I saw your build thread on that, looking good! Is it ease to get the chubby cover off then or a bit of a faff? Pretty straightforward although you can sparay in situ if you mask off ALL the nearby areas properly! Simply remove the centre console (there are multiple threads here on how to do that) and you have complete acesss to the securing screws for the cubby. Remove that and it is a doddle to take the door off. David Edited July 17, 2015 by Tinyflier Quote

Jay Kay Posted July 18, 2015 Author Posted July 18, 2015 Thanks everyone but the car I viewed wasn't as tidy as I had hoped so I think I'll leave that one. If anyone knows of an HR up for sale, pl theease let me know asap. Desperately need a car and nice zeds seem few and far between - to the point that I am about to go view a Focus ST... Quote
