Blackout

I can't claim any credit for this mod, it was mentioned on a Land Rover forum and I thought it was a good idea so I ran with it.

My cars dash is a kind of beige (I think LR call it grey but to my eyes it looks beige), and I the summer sun the instrument cowl reflects back onto the windscreen just enough to be noticeable. 

So forum users "dave21478" and "krisboats" posted about painting the cowl top black, and as it happens I have some Lidl Matt black in stock and I had to remove the cowl to fault find some wiring anyway.

Looks good and doesn't look out of place combined with the black tray tops. 

Ironic rain negating the need to mod...

And the fault finding? Turned out I had used some cheap fuses in my new fuse box that weren't quite making enough contact. Much swearing at such a silly fault but added some good fuses and all was well again...
