Hey guys this has been one of the to do jobs on the car but not seeing much in terms of services for flocking localy in Northern ireland
Has anyone got any recommendations on who to go to our any advice in advance

Read alot of bad stories of once dashes are flocked, and people go to clean it.
Its been falling off shortly after flocking.

Thanks jack

It’s not a hard wearing surface, and really not suited to a road car, especially a daily driven 1.

If you’re after a nice finish, look at trimming the dash in suede/alcantara which will remain durable and look class, especially if you opt for nice stitching as an accent around edges and vents.

Ah flip, fairly sure I threw my spare dash out or you could have had it.

someone before suggested blackline performance to me, yet to try their flocking but they did redo the headlining on my Mk5 GTI in OEM black and did a great job.

Other place was @baron from memory

It is a pain in the arse to look after if you arent really careful with it. Derek has his Mk2 dash done from memory, worth giving him a shout.

If you go down the alcantara trimming route I highly recommend Del at Optimus in Glasgow, he does a properly good job.

@cauld1 @natogreen16v is alcantara not a pig to keep clean, idealy i just want to rub it with a brush every once in a while and im not keen on the price of the material 😶
