I like the original blue myself, stands out without being to garish.

As a matter of fact, yes they do
It's something I may give consideration to as well. Best to wait until the car is actually here. Don't want it too dull inside

I know that you are in a place where sunshine is rare but how fade resistant are the colours did some upholstery on my bike a nice Monza red and in
a few months it had become a lovely pink 
but then I am in sunny Australia

Plasticote 'Crinkle' finish.
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

You spray an adhesive onto the parts that you want to flock, add an electrostatic charge, spray on the flock ( 1mm little hairs) and you end up with a
dash looking like a 14 year olds chin
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

it wouldnt be the most practical of finishes!
would be fine for glove box, door pockets, but probably not on the main bits of the dash.
sorry to give false hope

Reminds me.
My mate Phil has a company Golf and was giving Sean a lift into work. Sean commented on the unusual finish on the dash, almost suede like. He rubbed
his hand on it and it disappeared revealing the plastic underneath. Dust ! Phil cleans it now.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

What goes around, sooner or later comes around.
If you like the flock effect then go for it I say, get in there as a trend setter, before people start covering thier corsa in the stuff.
It will also act as sound dedening if you cavor a desent quantity of the interia with it.

I cant vote on this one - sorry i think they all look like they will make the dask look home made and nova-ish (i was going to say crap but decided to
be more objective).
I thought flocking was popular on rally cars to prevent the glare from sun hitting shiny dash reflecting back on the windscreen and reducing
visibility. Surely its a bit more robust and practical than predicted on this thread. Perhaps worth trying kit to see what it looks like.
What about leather or alcantara covering? or better quality vinyl.
