Comparing finishes before you decide

Leave factory grey behind

Most dashboards come out of the factory in dark, neutral plastic. By trimming the inserts you look at every day, the whole cabin changes character. Start with the central parts in your line of sight, then decide whether the smaller pieces around the vents and doors should match them or provide a contrast.

The classic facelift trap

Many models were updated during production, and the dashboard often changed with the facelift: a new screen, different vents, a reshaped centre console. Check the year of your car and compare the parts diagram with what is actually in front of you. If you are unsure, a photo helps us confirm.

Protect it while it is new

On a new car, the trim does more than change the look. It protects the covered surfaces from scratches caused by keys, rings, phone holders or a bag thrown on the console. The original parts stay in perfect condition underneath, which many owners appreciate when the car is eventually sold.

For Ford Connect, start with the parts diagram, then choose between wood effect, carbon effect, brushed aluminium and piano black.
