Windscreen reflection - It’s annoying.

[Tedwud]

I absolutely love my GS and plan on keeping it for some time. One really annoying aspect of it though, is the reflection in the windscreen of the dash. It has a cream interior and thus a cream dash. The reflection in the windscreen really spoils the car, particularly on sunny days or at night. Does anyone else have this problem and have you found a solution?

I had the same and leaned to live with it. Did see some with a black towel on the dashtop

I don't understand how silly the first owner was having a cream dash top. It could have been specified black.
I'd have it recovered black.

What he said, didn’t have a problem with reflections in mine

Yes, that is what I am considering. It’s got tech cloth as well, which I’m not a huge fan off. So I was planning on replacing the tech cloth with black alcantara and doing the top dash too.

Flock is always an option.

I dyed the ivory dash on my 03 spyder black, then did the same with the blue dash on my coupe. I recall reading on one of the Ferrari forums that keeping the alcantara free of dust and lint is difficult.

Might be a challenge to drive….

Rally car maybe, but a GS... not too sure!

I spoke to someone at Auto Italia a few years ago who had their dash recovered in alcantara to stop the glare.
it looked very nice as well.

Yep, just close your eyes.

The dash top is easy to remove and common to the 4200/GS range.

Get a spare from the breakers and you can just swap them over to suit your moods.

I want to get around to this. I had my roof lining done in grey alcantara about 4 years ago and wanted to do the same with the stuff left over from the roof...

I have some Black 3.0 paint if you want to have some.
But it's not very durable or easy-care, so you would probably have to cover it with polished glass.

That's lovely.

I want to get a few bits sorted on my interior and a full respray if the car will take a break from needing big mechanical overhauls.

You're car is going to be like new when you've finished with it!

Certainly drives a bit more like when it was new!
