I did it myself - I wouldn't let a Non TVR garage do it. - 50 quid is cheap for a job that will take longer to do properly than 1 hour....

Just mho

I did mine myself. Took a full afternoon, so I reckon £50 is very (too?) cheap. There is always the risk of cracking or scratching the new one or tearing the dash as you take it off - so I suppose if you can get someone else to take the responsibility ...

Personally I found this to be a very satisfying job. When people admire the dash I can also say "I did that!"

so called

How much and where do you get new ones ?
Mine are in need of major sorting.

The quoted $50 is for two hours work . I got a perfect dash from ebay, think tvr mad are doing them as well.

I do have another dash in pretty good condition that I got from here that I was going to fit but manged to find one on eBay that had just been re veneered so using that one now
