Hi all,

Still looking for my ST sadly the one thing that stops me finding the right one is they more often than not have the blue dashboard which im not a fan of. my question is do you think its possible i could get the dash complrtley resprayed as then i can just buy my ST and not wait forthe perfect one which could take years (im sick of my currebt car) :P


thanks in advance

don't know about spraying, people do cloth them in alcantara rally style which looks terrible...........
I have blue, my car is blue, I think it looks odd if you go with a different colour inside to outside.

Hate the blue too aswell. Don't know why anybody would want to buy it. Looks horrible, cheap and tacky.

Spraying it??? I very much doubt it, its like a soft foamy material, not hard plastic.........

Keep looking, you'll find the perfect one

Yes some are grey. The grey dashboard came if you had full leather seats rather than half leather/half cloth.

Depends what colour your looking for really. Go for black or red they have a light gray looks quite nice better than the blue

I love the blue dash! Ftr I have a silver , I wouldn't want a silver dash. Black is a standard colour most cars have this, I like blue because its different.

But each to their own

You can get the dash re-sprayed, yes, but the cost will be as much as the car is worth.

When the IP is removed it needs to be striped down and the Top Pad removing for spraying and re-fitting.

Just not worth it

Go White with Blue Stripes, with Sports pack dash

I had a blue dash in my mk6 and I loved it, like steff said, it's different but not in your face. Not a fan of the red though.

I prefer the pre facelift dash one of the main reasons I opted for that over facelift, could never have had a coloured dash

I was adamant when I was looking for my ST that I didn't want a blue car and the blue dash... that worked then! I think it's really not as bright blue as it looks in photos, and I don't mind it now.

If you really don't want the blue dash, you will need to get a pre-facelift, full leather, or red interior.

I thought the blue dash looked a bit tacky at first but think it suits it well now!

I'd have preferred the red seats rather than blue and the acompanying dash (or even a red one?! ) but despite this I still disagree with the above quote. If anything like others have said it makes the interior a bit more unique.

I've only seen the red dash on the MK6 Zetec S as an option. Every ST with red seats I've seen has had the black dash.
