I am thinking of changing my dash, Switch console & door strip from the wood to Carbon Fibre, is anyone else interested. I have some Carbon Fibre and can either make them for you (assuming mine goes OK) or sell you the Carbon Fibre to cut it out yourself!

Does this appeal to anyone?

I've just drawn up a template for the switch plate, I am getting a couple of steel and Brushed Stainless plates made. I would get the dash done as well.. Just for a look see...

How are you going to cut out the CF.?
Do you have a drawing or template for the dash.?
Do you need one for the switch panel.?

I may be interested in your old wooden dash!

I've got an S2 - round dials. Have you got any pictures of yours?

I've been thinking this very same thing myself recently (as well as do I sell the S and get a Griff but thats another story).
Switch panel doesn't seem to difficult to do, but not sure how you'd do the dash without taking it out - and also theres the variations between the S3 and V8S etc.

Can the clocks etc be removed with the dash in-situ?

The S2 and V8S dah is very different, unless you have a S3 style dash!
