Dash Protectors
Found this on FB
I have one in my Sierra (albeit from a different seller) but they look the same quality.
They are doing them for the Mk3 Capri soon
Q "Are these available for a Capri mk3?"
A "They will be very soon. Shame they have such probs with cracked dashboards...soon as we get it templated I'll announce it on the Cool Dash page"

I don't think around £50 is a lot of money for something tailor made to protect a dash that will cost £££s to replace....
Re: Dash Protectors
A few years ago you could get leather covers for all dash plastics in mk3's I'm sure it was on eBay but wouldn't be able to tell you who from. I remember they were black with coloured stitching if that's any help to anyone
Ratty as fuck

I prefer the other ones as they can be used as and when required.

Re: Dash Protectors
Thanks for the heads up, Andy.
Personally, I'm not keen on the leather covers because they are a permanent fixture and they deviate from the original look.
The dash covers look just the ticket to use on the days where the car is parked in the sun.

Except when off the road over winter, I leave mine on all the time

Re: Dash Protectors
Excellent product, about time someone made one for the Capri. Cheers Andy, will keep a look out
Re: Dash Protectors
Long overdue, as they seem to make quite alot of them for 80's Fords....I love mineCaprifan Rob wrote:Excellent product, about time someone made one for the Capri. Cheers Andy, will keep a look out
With the price of a repair or new/replacemrnt dash, I think they have a good market with these.
I would call or email to get the heads up on production.

Re: Dash Protectors
I do have a small crack in mine around the radio holes that I do know from many years ago don’t cover up when the radio is on as it keeps the radio cool .
But have just sent them a massage on Facebook . So when I get a answer I will let you all know , I did also ask how we order if not on Facebook .
But will look much nicer at shows .

Re: Dash Protectors
So just a quick update as I know we all use beer towels on our dash here what the fella who makes them posted up on Facebook today .
Hope this works as the WiFi is pants down here .
Hey guys and gals, good evening. So thought id tell you where things are currently. So we've been working behind the scenes of late sorting a few bits and bobs out. We've changed suppliers for our edging as things where not being sent to us on time, we're expecting a delivery tomorrow to get the ball rolling again, so those who have had to wait a bit longer, we send our apologies but this will no longer be an issue. We're gonna be introducing white in to the range of fauxs as this has been highly requested many times along with a new grey.
With the summer holidays here, some of our new releases have been put back a little with the kids being off but the good news is the Capri has now been templated thanks to our friend Peter who was good enough to let us template his beast and well be putting things together over the coming week, getting digitizing done and doing a final version for release. These will cover the 280 with a limited edition, the laser and the injection range which we're really excited about.
The MK1 Fiesta template is in its final stages we've redone this since our first version to ensure full coverage but we're working on a few tweeks before we get the first proper one made up.
Also a big thanks to Kelly who has been a great support for the Mondeo MK3, this will be done shortly and on the way to you not forgetting Lesley who has been working away like a trooper getting these made and doing tweeks at our request
Have a good evening all
Plenty more covers in the pipeline
Cool Dash HQ
Any questions, please drop us a message
So not long to wait now .....

It's about time somebody made one of these for the Capri, fair play to guy who is doing them. He's going to be able to retire early because they are going to sell like hotcakes!
I'm definitely going to buy one.
