Focus dash problem

[Luseac]

Hi guys,

Purchased my focus a couple of months ago, unfortunatly it came with this cracking around my clock on the dash. Here is a pic:

What would be the best way to deal with this? Am I going to have to replace the silver surround?

I don't know how the previous owner managed to do it

Might be best off buying the silver bit. Have a look around, not too hard to find.

Just seen that one on ebay and will see what the price goes upto.

Take it off sand it down and paint it your self, will look much better anyway that way.

This is probably a viable option. Do you know the exact paint colour or will any silver paint do the job? I'd rather it not look too different from other focus'.

I'm thinking the ebay option will probably be the easiest tbh.

I will be putting a new HU in at some point in the future. Can't seem to find any single DIN ones on atm. Do you know if he is still doing them?

Nah, I just want the normal silver look.

How easy is it to replace? Is it just a case of taking the headunit out and 'unclipping'?

Ok cool thanks.
