I anguished long and hard over mine when I first got the car and how to sort it. I’m useless with leather or wood so that was ruled out. So I had a plan to print a new shroud, prep the surface and experiment with dark metallic paint finishes.

But..! All that came to an abrupt halt one day when I picked up a bit of left over edging strip trim that I had kicking around and banged it on the shroud. It insantly made the thing look much nicer. For me the problem was that crude unfinished cut edge on the cheap plastic vacuum forming. It annoyed the hell out of me. Once the edge was hidden I started to warm to it and since then it hasn’t bothered me woohoo

A very effective and aesthetically pleasing solution. The edging strip makes it complete and intentional and it repeats the theme of the steering wheel. Without this strip, the shroud looks like an old plastic part taken from the construction waste container.
