Carbon dashboard damage

[Geo99]

Hi folks, picked up my A-class yesterday and I’m pretty chuffed. I got it from Mercedes used in Scotland and drove it back to Northern Ireland. Got a 3 year old A180 Amg line and so far so good. Only issue is when I collected it from the dealer there was damage to the carbon dashboard.

I was about to call the deal off when they offered to have the repair paid for when I returned home. As I had to return on the ferry a few hours later I agreed and I’ve been advised to get a trim specialist to perform a smart repair.

I’m still sceptical if a repair can be can out fully on the carbon dashboard but was hoping for some advice or help on how this is done.

I suppose if a repair can’t be done I can maybe get it wrapped but would prefer to have the original finish if possible.

Thanks

price up the part at MB , have it fitted , bill the dealer

That’s one of the options but can’t see them paying it to be honest.

and I'm pretty sure genuine carbon cannot be smart repaired pal so new will be the only way to sort it out

I pretty much thought that but have to present them with some options. Their mechanic assured me it can be repaired though so will price up a repair and a full replacement and give them the 2 choices.
