[s-cars] Cracked Dashboard and Trim

[Wylie Bean]

Have seen cracked carbon trim many times. Never figured it happened over the course of a few months...rather, would imagine gradually over a much longer period of time.
As far as the dash I believe there's a write up on the quattroworld forum original S Car page FAQ 
www.forums.quattroworld.com/s4s6/
FAQ is the very first post highlighted in green at the top.

To my dismay I discovered that not only had a *large* crack appeared right across the top middle of the dashboard, but *all* the carbon fibre trim panels on the doors had shattered as well (cracks everywhere).
