I just purchased an L6. Overall the car looks nice, however, there is a section of dashboard which is warped. It is the piece just over the dashboard vents which runs to the front glass.

Does anyone know what options are available to repair or replace? If so, how much might it cost to repair?

Just went through this with my L6 last year. Although my dash seemed to be in much worse shape than yours. You could try to use adhesive to repair, but I suspect your leather is shrinking causing the curling effect.

My options were to replace the leather dash for $1600 if it was still available, to recover, in leather, the old dash, still very expensive, or to replace the dash with a plastic one. I choose the later and found a clean used dash on ebay for $150, had it painted and installed for about $ 500. In any case it would be expensive.

Try the adhesive first! HTH
