Bought the fake Alcantara off eBay, glued down over the existing dash pad.

Nice! Now C7's had (and maybe C8s too now) "sueded microfibre" interior trim coverings. Always wondered what the difference with alcantara was? Just haven't bothered to look it up (yet)!

That does the job but was looking for one that just stays in place without glue or fixings , if such a thing is available. I may try the grippy perforated sheet and cut to shape.

They’re called dash mats. You see them in loads of the hotter States. Sure someone does a C3 one.

I have seen a dash mat on a C3 , maybe someone on forum has one fitted . Fortunately I don`t really get bothered by reflection as a previous owner fitted the dash top and facia with faux leather seam stitched material . The shiny plastic speaker grills cause a bit of reflection though if sun is at the right angle .

All the main parts suppliers have them. They can be laid on top of the existing dash or use Velcro tabs to secure them.
Had them in many cars over the years. They also hide the unsightly cracks in dash tops.

Chuffer - that is a great interior inside your car - looks really nice.

Out of interest, what is the tiny switch between the two electric window switches on the centre console? Passenger ejector switch?

Thanks CaptainK , the tiny switch is the spring loaded horn switch would you believe ?? Who ever installed the Grant GT steering wheel did not install a horn push in the centre boss !! It felt odd at first but soon got used to it .

Wowzers! Would never have guessed it was a horn switch. Makes sense though. Thanks.
