so it would essentially look all smooth without the nobbly bits dashboards tend to have? how much you think a full dash would cost to get sprayed ? I am tempted to DIY it but imagine the disaster D:

If it's smooth like paint, it'll be a complete nightmare with sun glare. Hence why dashboards have a textured surface in the first place and race cars have a flocked dash.

Flocked white dash looks crazy mate they look really nice But you wouldn't have to spray some sort of protection on it and will be pretty hard to keep spotless. But if you have a clean job ad no kids i would go for it.

Would black flock go well with white racing seats or should they be black too? I want white rims too so I want it colour coded nicely.

Nah I wouldn't run a conversion without insuring it, hate to sound like an old man but it's not worth the hassle.

Hmm, might take the chance, but not sure if the Furio will bum me for insurance too.... If not I could always sell the car on, least I could learn a bit about modifying in the meantime.

why not ring up a few insurers and find out what the craic is between each model.
another thing you will have to remember is you have a manchester postcode, this almost certainly makes you and F as with most big cities, i had to settle for a furio for i too am an f* postcode being leeds and the difference between vt and 1.4 was a fucking joke !!
