Toning Down A Tan Interior

[anton]

Thanks, guys. I was thinking about dyeing, but the top of the dashboard gets the full sun. Even here in the UK that can be quite warm at times and it may produce weird effects after a time!
The swopping of the top part of the dash may be an option. I'll need to investigate what's involved.
I was hoping there was some sort of cleaner that slowly darkened the material with use. Like some hair shampoos slowly add colour to your hair as you use them (so I'm told!!). I do like the tan interior generally. The black or dark blue makes the interior a bit gloomy with the top up.
Good to see a flourishing DIY forum for the Boxster.

The colored part of the dashboard is all one unit, it's not split between top and bottom, so you'd be swapping out the entire dash.
