That looks sprayed silver to me but there is silver, this is my dash:


I think this qualifies as "Alu brunito" but it just comes up "black cornhole" when I use my vin for a filter and my car's trim level is just "low - medium". Oh, and it's left-hand drive of course but "alu brunito" comes up on rhd drive cars too, but I can only find it on the air vent surrounds

that looks odd, the radio still has the rds/eon sticker yet the cd slot is black. if it was sprayed the sticker would be gone.
I tried waiting on the silver bits which came on 03 and 04 cars, but buying them used they can be badly scratched or damaged, so its easier to spray your dash, sand the parts down, apply primer then the colour. The best match is rover storm grey metalic.

Tbh now that my plans of changing the colour of the clocks have been Aborted -ithink iwill be leaving the dash bits black,
if it had worked out as planned with the Aqua blue lighting My next step wouid of been Buying plastic Primer and Respraying all the trim Silver,
The Orange seems to blend in well with the Black trim so iwill leave it as it is me thinks,
Next thing iwill do is just Add some Chrome Dial rings ithink thats as Good as im going to Get it,

That's my dash fp, I was talking about the one in Lozz's post. The slot is black because it's made out of two stereos - I broke the front circuit board on mine so Sir Wiggum kindly sent me the front off of his one when it died.

I'm sure I spotted something on passion406 about changing the colour of the dash lights, it wasn't what I was after at the time so I didn't see if they were successful or not. I'll have a look for it later, if I can remember what dash is in French...
