Fitted the gold heat reflective stuff which is a pain to fit. It is like window tint and only like flat surfaces http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z225/jdm86gtz/Charmant/Charmant494.jpg Nice shiny Toda pulleys http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z225/jdm86gtz/Charmant/Charmant503.jpg

Re: Daihatsu Charmant

I don't have to flock the dash as I got a decent colour dash from Cloko. Had to repaint everything (crossmember etc.) and have fitted a few bits so far.
