Has he flocked the vent covers as well? Do they still turn?


They may well do, I have not forced them however.

Yes it will, but it needs to warm up and the flock just lifts. Guess I better go get it out of the boot as it is already minus 4 out there.

Well did I get it wrong. Just got the bill from The Flock Shop and it is £60 plus VAT so a real bargain. Had it in the house now for 12 hours and the marks have lifted out just as Ron said they would. Looks really nice.

Dash is pretty easy jimmy. There is a guide on here somewhere, there are a couple of screws behind the dash plate and it comes off. Becareful with the wire from the push start tho.
