It looks like I threw paint on it. I've tried water, hot water, soapy water... bloody anything I could find but it wont come off.... I think it might have eaten it or something....Firstly does anyone know how to get it off??If not how much is the dash piece worth and where do I get one? I hope I dont need a whole new dash!!!I took some pics....

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

I would go and buy a dashmat and forget about it. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/32767-urgent-help-needed/#findComment-500530 Share on other sites More sharing options...
