Previous owner of mine just cut one out of chequer plate using the original as a template. This was well before Leven etc made them commercially.

11 years with the car and still haven't got round to matching the heater panel lol

Thanks all. Fubes, we have almost the same colour combo it seems. The walnut just doesn't work in a car with dark leather, it needs something to lift it. I know this is a Chim dash, but this is the sort of thing I was looking for, the finish looks spectacular.

I agree. CF dash would look great on lighter interior cars but not dark/black.

Need to be careful of instrument colour too. I'd love to replace mine with a carbon dash, but I have black faced instruments and would nee to replace with something brighter...

Peter

As ever, you seem to have the solution to our fabrication needs! I'd love to replace the rather shoddy brushed aluminium of mine with something of better quality - either a patterned aluminium or the cf.

That would be excellent Peter. Could you match the finish on the Chim above? If so, i'm in. Group buy?

I have the stainless dash, its not highly polished and doesnt give off any reflection. Pic isnt the best as battery is out so cant get in. I thought it looks quite good with the colour combo of the interior. The panel the A/C knob is also the same.

Hi Peter, tried emailing you through your profile but it's not playing ball. I understand the group buy was removed by the moderators.

yeah was removed. i have a great technique to do the pattern. takes me about two-three hours to do the turning on the dash by hand on the pillar drill.
