    Finally found a U13 auto petrol car I like, but cant buy it cuz the dashboard is cracked and i checked with around 20 spare parts shops and there are no dashboards to be found for the u13. f**k my life.

      Can't get it fixed ? Fill up the cracks and wrap it with a hard shell sheet so that it looks like the original plastic ??

      huge cracks these are. is that even possible? why isnt anyone who had their dashboard cracked not doing it if its possible?

      ....because in SL it probably is easier to just put ina new one because we do not have skilled mechanics/engineers/labor. We have plenty of part swappers who are ever willing to keep swapping parts until whatever problem resolves itself...also...95% of our guys are too lazy and careless to do a proper job anyway. It is also th owner....90% of people who use Corollas and Sunny and old bluebirds got in to the car to run cheaply and fixing things like dashboards is a "luxury" repair.

      But people do repair dashboards...my Mark X had a repaired dashboard....the infamous Axio dashboard melt has both replaced dashboards as well as repaired dashboards (needless to say the repaired dahsboard has a sense of "maarket naha" situation and some people automatically beleive that a repaired dashboard means a crashed car (thus the swap is easy to hide).

      It definitely is possible.. You can do something like this....

      With newer passenger side airbags you have to be a bit mindful of how the airbag deploys and lay the material accordingly. Any cracks in the foam or plastic is filled with either foam dust or plastic filler...then the dash is painted or wrapped. Either method has its own pros and cons....
