Default dash upgrade

can someone tell me if there is anyway to adapt the lower part of the passengers dash from the newer late model C4 design. I have a 93' with the carpeted panel, I have seen the 95-96 that has a smooth leather like panel. The other day I found one on ebay.....to say the least they are not the same when it comes to fitting....on my 93 the upper black section of the dash is also the lower section that the carpet is attached to...Any ideas would be greatly appreciated....if not I have a very nice panel for sale

Not sure what you mean by adapting?
The dash was redesigned in 1994, when they added the passenger side air bag and did away with the glove box.

Anything can be done if you put your mind to it. It is possible to fit a 94-96 lower pass dash to the 93. Though I don't know what kind of work would have to go into it.

I would think that would work fairly easily but not sure. I think the basic shape of that specific area didn't change much.

If you decide you are going to do it I've got the part you need in black - off my 96'
