SuperSupra Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Right, I'm going to fit it now, but just wondered what people found was the best way of cutting additional holes for the flippy windows switch, and also my immobiliser thingy. Any particular method proved effective? Want a nice neat finish you see so stanley knife probably not the best idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any particular method proved effective? Want a nice neat finish you see so stanley knife probably not the best idea! I used a leatherman on mine! = looks fine to me. I see no harm in using a stanley with a new blade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk-rich Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 i used a stanley, but its a ball ache to cut this stuff. really take your time, you can't un-cut it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSupra Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 which dash did you buy? One off Ebay, from that Kynu, or whatever they're called. Just fitted it but can't decide whether I like it now It kinda looks cool, but the fit is less than perfect, and being a perfectionist it might not be good enough just being 'kinda cool'.

jamesmark Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Pics: You are really needing some SS heater control dials and warning lights too mate it will make the dash look better. Thor do them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I used a scalpel, heat it up and then let it cool a little. The heat lets it go through the clear coating and then the it cuts as normal through the bottom layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about spraying mine too, but the imense time and effort needed to make it look really good kinda put me off Think I may live to regret that decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
