Cup holders |
Tue 08 Jan 2008 12:49:27 AM |
Hi,
The problem is I have a grey dash...with a grey dash mat...and now I have a brown cup holder/compartment that sits in the trough. 1. Does anybody know if it is possible to change the colour of the plastic of the cup holders by a means other that painting it? 2. Does anybody have recommendations for an apholstry place in perth for a reshaped dash mat? 3. Has anybody seen a grey cup holder that sits in the trough or do they only come in brown? |

I have a brown dash with a grey cup holder / compartment.
Didn't realise they also came in brown. |

Hey, maybe you could swap cupholders..hehe :D
If you look klosely at the back of your ashtray in your Micra you will notice that it has been spraypainted to get its grey apperance.. But the cupholders will get a fair bit more weare over time so I guess painting it just wont do.. hmm.. |

Hey David,
I have been looking for a dashmat for a Micra and am in Perth. I found a place that has quoted me a price of $55 which is pretty good because, as I am sure you know, you can find the bloody things anywhere! Here is the email they sent me back: The cost of the dashmat will be $55 if you would like to place the order please contact us on 93705088 or call into the store in Bayswater. Here's the webpage: http://www.protectomat.com.au/main.html |

I got mine done through autopro...like $40...discount if your an RAC member. That was for the standard micra dash.
I got a quote for about $110 to fit over the compartment/cupholder. |
