Title: APE dashboard binnacle
Post by: MarcoPolo on March 07, 2011, 01:34:23 pm
Having gone for the cloth interior and not shelled out for leather trim, my APE will arrive with the 'crusty' dash binnacle over the instruments.
Not being a great fan of the 'Tarmac on the dash' feature, I wondered whether it is easily removed and replaced with a dealer parts department supply, "leather with red/yellow stitching" version.
Not having access to an APE at the moment, photos suggest it's a component that may be fixed just by screws. Optimistic, I know.

Check this thread (https://www.abarthforum.co.uk/abarth-punto-evo/trimming/) out appears to be possible and not terribly costly

£22 sounds bit of a bargain ??? Too good to be true!
I wondered whether it was a DIY job with "three or four hex screws".
Any excuse not to have the thing off the road when it arrives....(although it could be done at PDI I suppose).
