In search of a Blue Dashboard with no cracks.

rover73 · 04-02-2011, 10:03 AM

Hi Everyone.

I bought an 85 300td over the internet a few days ago (don't have it yet). The dashboard is badly cracked.

Does anyone know where I can find a replacement dash in Blue?

Thank You.

The blue dash is the holy grail of w123 parts.

remember some threads about a black one and how to dye it.

When you get your Car you are going to have more important issues than cosmetic ones.
when I got mine I just bought a Dash Board Cover and went on with my life trying to fix what needed to be fixed to keep the Car on the Road.

As indicated the replacement Dash Boards come in Black.

I have one and I am pretty sure it actually does not have any cracks. May be a little faded. I will double check. If you are interested, make me an offer I cannot refuse. I will take a long and hard look at it to make sure. Please PM me. Thanks. I am located in Columbia, SC

Is it possible to remove a used Dashboard and install install it on another Vehicle without damaging it in the process?

I would assume one could remove the dash without causing damage if careful and a lot of time is taken. As for the install, that is up to the installer. Thus, I could only answer as to taking it out; no control over the person putting it in. Hope that helps. I will have to go over the dash again as I am now doubting myself relative to cracks.

Can't see what is hard here, any vinyl repair chap (check with a local MB or such dealer for referrals) can recolour the dash. It will need to be out of the car. Of course you can remove a dash from one car and refit to another. I'm sure you will even find a local firm that can reskin your exisiting dash, and they will colour match the finish. This is all basic stuff ...
