Red stripe on dash surround

Hi all,

I know there has been a lot of talk regarding campaign trim specs, but should a campaign mk1 have a dash surround with a red stripe on it ??

Or….can someone point me in the direction of the bit in the forum that contains the answer as I can't see it.

Cheers

I don't think Campaigns had the red line around the dash

My Alpine white 1600 also has a red line around the dash as well as a red interior. Seen red dash very rarely, never seen one in a campaign. Could it be a replacement/aftermarket part or was it something fitted to imports?

I think the red dash line is more common on cars with a red interior. Not 100% on that though  8O

Here's the link to the same topic on teh old site!

Many thanks all, mine has no stripe at all (well a black one) so I'm happy not to change it.

Cheers.

If you're good with small pieces of fine sandpaper (about 400-600 grade), you can sand off the silver stripe, and then polish the surface that you've revealed with T-Cut, and it will look like an original black one.
The trick is to avoid sanding the surrounding plastic, or it will look terrible!

PS: If you (or anyone) has a red-stripe surround, best not to sand it, as these are rare as hen's teeth now, but the silver ones came on a lot of models…

My Campaign has the red surround on the dash (I think this may be int he thread on the old site). I'm not sure if it's original though, at some point I think the car has been broken into and I suspect the dash surround changed as a result of damage (someone trying to prise the radio out)…
