Painted a month or so ago yeah, never been keen on flock personally. I think it has a purpose and is overused. Can look good though. I know you do flocking now too.

I think it would finish you interior off nicely mate
Looks mint as is 
I like the flock because it looks fresh and makes your dash look a lot more "black" then the OE plastic looks, makes it match the seats and stuff a lot better
Not everyone is keen on it like

Might wanna think about something in the footwell man, ime you tend to wear through the paint with your heels under the pedals. Skateboard griptape works wonders.

Yeah that is on the list. The car is SORN now so its not much of a problem just using the bits of foam as mats.

Haha, don't worry dude, unlike most of the folk who might have said that, I know that grip tape works well enough to save the xxxxx amount of quid that you'd need to spend to have some carbon stuff, that's still probably gonna be slippy when it's wet.

I also use grip tape like above, works well. Cheap, think it cost me 10 quid to cover my footwells.

I disagree with using grip tape.
I put it in my Saxo and ended up taking it out!
Push your foot down no problem, try bringing it back and your heal catches on it.
