Hi guys,

I am a recent and excited fiat coupe owner. I have a couple of questions though.

The area around the clock and vents seems like a rubbery weird highly markabke area. What can be done? What's the best way to clean that area? Can it be covered with something else?

Thanks in advance.

That is if you want the original look. Alternatively, once stripped many including myself spray them usually the same as body colour.

I'm liking that. thumb Looks like a fair bit of polishing went into it.

Also think that spraying matt black would look good too.
I sprayed a mud guard for my motorbike with special plastic primer then topcoat of matt. Looks proper bat-mobile-stylee mean.

I decided to stay with the OE look and refurbed the entire centre console (including ashtray unit) and handbrake console

I sorted and fitted these on Clint's LE Mike, no the ashtray unit was restored without removing the door, but I have seen it done this way but getting it all to work correctly after can be problematic sometimes.
