I'll know when RM parcelforce pulls its finger out - had my centre console done. I saw it in real life - and a very good match to the carpet - fingers crossed. Flocking !!

I'll post up details of the guy soon - he' does allsorts of trimming (anybody see the black & orange RX7s at JAE?).

lol ok, I think it has more of a motorsports feel to it. Ill have to disagree and go with all supercar manufactures who use it in their cars as being more classy than chav.

If you really think this looks chav




Id love to know what you rate this interior as

Flocking came from motorsports as a way to stop shiny interiors causing glare or reflections in the windscreen, the same reason that matt black bonnets appeared. For that reason it can look good, but only if the rest of the car is pretty purposeful and performance-oriented IMO, otherwise it's a bit tarty  s:) :) s:)

judging by your comments I dont think its prooving too popular on here, but I have my dashboard, door cards, centre console, wind screen surrounds, etc etc all done in black flocking, and to be honest, it looks really really good, especially when accented with bits of leather here and there, I have leathered the glove box and nav pod, little bits on the door cards, and a few other bits, got it done by suffolk flocking services. think the guy is called doug, hes really good. looks totally spot on IMO. But I understand its not to everyones taste  s:) :) s:)

Id love to see some pics of your interior? Also ( if you dont mind me asking ) how much are you looking at to get your dash 'flocked?'

Must admit I don't have direct experience, but I do rather like the look of flocking in a fully done-out interior (sorry Craig  s;) ;) s;) ) - then again, I like the Alcantra, too.

Black flocking wouldn't look too bad I guess, but hate the colored ones.
