LHD and RHD Interior Question...

[Cxmoney]

just curious, but will a RHD crash pad from a 1.6 dash fit on a LHD car if rotated?

I doubt it, it doesn't look like it could be flipped. What about the cutout for the tombstone?

Someone prove me wrong? Just my best guess.

Project-G has a RHD NB dash for sale.

Well the thing is i am looking for a LE crash pad for my 1.6 dash. But i cant locate one anywhere. So if it could be rotated, then i could expand my search to japan

Just look at your crash pad and flip it over and see if it looks mirrored. I'm pretty sure that it has that cutout for the tombstone and that the cutout for the eye ball vent is asymmetrical as well. I highly doubt that it can be flipped, but once again, someone prove me wrong.

Yeah looking at it now, i see it cannot e flipped. Dammit

Can't be flipped.

Why not just get a regular black LHD one and cover it in red leather or vinyl?

That's what I was thinking! Maybe even the whole dash? :shock:

[Cxmoney]

Some have gotten good results using SEM paint.

Portola Red # 11442

I myself have used the camel paint for the crash pad on the 92 SE and it matched up really well.

[Cxmoney]

do you have any pictures of that portola red you did?

[hooligan]

if it could have been flipped i could have sold you mine!

also curious to see pics of the red paint as matching the red LE colour is a total ballache!

im in the process of taking most of my red interior out and just leaving the red carpets and seats, then putting in a mk2 dash and doorcards

[s0verybored]

I never done it with red, only with tan.
