Not knowing as I have a new one;
However, I would think that you could remove the existing vinyl material and ask a Trimmer or the likes if they can either heat shrink or vacuum wrap some new vinyl onto it. I also would have thought that the companies that restore consoles could perhaps do it for you????

How long is a piece of string Dave?????
Sorry, really don't know when it is going to be done as everything else keeps getting in the way. I don't see much more being done on the car for the rest of the year, just don't have much time to spare. And no, there has been no real time limit set as I simply look at it as being 'the car will be done when it gets done'. I am also doing another one as well - XD ex pursuit car

Thanks Pat. The car will only be a once in a month Sunday driver so I am not too concerned about using it on long runs and everday as well. I have two sets of tyres, 1) 4 x 245 65 15's on the aforementioned 15 x 7 rims and then 2) 2 x 265 ? 15's on 15 x 8 Challenger rims (front) and 2 x 295 ? 15's on 15 x 10 Challenger rims. All of them are Yokohama 352's.
