Kev, have you got a machine that can cut out dashes in sheet metal? Brushed aluminium would be nice.

Kev's on his hols Terry...

I suppose it could be done with the equipment, but it'd be a nightmare...

Fair enough, so what dashes are you doing for JDM and UK spec cars?

BTW, that's a pretty sweeping statement about parts in your sig!:eek:

When you say dashes what do you mean Terry...

Sweeping? Not at all, its true! :)

Replacement for the cheap nasty plastic panels.

Thats what I thought you meant...

I'll have a word with Kevin about it when hes back to see what the feasibility in something like that is...

Are you planning to stock carbon fiber (real or lookalike(?)) dashs, or any other replacements?

Dammit, I knew this would happen. As soon as I started looking at mods, I'd just get carried away.. considering a full respray now too. Gah!

You could make one out of real CF, it would probably cost more than the car though ;)

Again it depends on what the interest is like and just how difficult these things are to make...

Yep i would be interested in the CF dash panels if they're GOOD ones or even the Brushed aluminium

Faye and Steve W2 have both expressed interest in a CF dash too.. Mark + myself.. I'm sure there are others too :)

It depends on the price of course.. I don't know how much something like this would be likely to cost (ballpark figure).. in the low-mid hundreds? A grand? Two?

If it was sub-500 I'd consider it, but if not I don't know.. depends on how long I'm planning on keeping the car, my dash is in a pretty good condition for a 10 year old car (the steering wheel is another matter entirely:))
