Do a search for the cheap repair method. There’s one on the forum.
10 seconds after typing ‘dash repair’ into the ‘Advanced search’ function in the three dot (…) menu at the top of the home page I found this…

Thanks, I’d figure I’d have to replace it because mine is incredibly hard. I’ll try to restore the leather and do this method 👍🏽

 

rico…….in few weeks you are here it seems that your car has a lot of …….issues. But did you checked it internally, externally before to buy?

because this problem, the noise problem, the front bumper that is broken, the distance between the lateral air duct and the body….

Almost three of these issues could be easily found before to buy in the car check.
If this is the status of the car on the “ exterior parts “ i would not think how is the status of the engine/ mech parts…..

this is something you should check before i think and now you should raise all of these things to the seller for my opinion.

If not …..you will have one or two years of continuous findings that will fill your driving life

 

I figured this would be brought up at some point. Obviously the excitement of being able to get my dream car caused me to overlook certain things. We’ve all had a moment like that at one point about something. Sure I could’ve done a better job in making sure the car was in better condition. At the end of the day, I’m willing to pay whatever I need to restore this car into perfect condition and keep up with maintenance

 

I understand this, hopefully you found yourself a good deal, then it should be well worth it..

 

It makes Alfanut happy to know that a hammered 4C is being brought back

 

Hey dude, I replaced my dash that had minimal delamination, I still have it at the shop that swapped it for me I was going to get it fixed and keep as a spare, but if you'd like I can sell it to you, yours seems a bit too far gone

 

I appreciate you 🙏🏽 but I’ll most likely get something from Lars to help me fix it, along with my numerous interior gripes (decade old sports cars needs a refresh at some point)

 

Rico i have replaced several forun members dash boards , I have a core as well . Most customers upgrade to Alcantara which is a lighter material less prone to delamination. Prices are reasonable and the job comes out perfect- see pictures below .

How does it get installed? You send the “skin” of the dash to me and a shop installs it? Or do I have to buy a new dash with it pre installed? (From you)
