my Tam is getting some trim work from Dave the trimmer.

i have a "slight" preference for the later style dash with a surround around the radio, but its only a slight preference. just after the fibreglass section that the glovebox and radio slot into, not the dash pod/instruments/glovebox/switches/radio...just the dash

found one in a breakers.


asked how much

have a guess.....

The whole front dash - upper and lower part + the trimming?

Probably about £1500-2000

no, just the supply of the single piece fibreglass dash from the breaker that holds the glovebox and stereo and mirror switch

So, the lower part without the trimming - £1200 or so with VAT etc.
