Dash pad repairs

Hi all,
     what are the options for a split MK2  dash pad. Mine is split twice and I dont want it covered in leather or similar. Is it possible to get them redone to look original

    I have heard good things from these guys.
     
    Dashboard Doctor
    71 Sydney Rd, Coburg
    Victoria 3058
    Phone: 03 9383 6861
    Fax: 03 93837088
    I got a quote to have the dash redone and it was about $330 from memory.
     
    You could always get it flocked.  Cost about $80.00.

    I was quoted $295 from the dashboard doctor about 3 weeks ago.

    keep in mind, if its original it means the covering will be rigid and quite brittle.
     
    Id think that small crack would become a larger crack quite quickly once it goes into a car and starts flexing around.
     
    Not trying to discourage, just making sure you are aware of what might happen.
