Another dash question.

[ybt1982]

Hi folks

I seem to be having trouble sourcing a replacement dash for the Chim. Mine has started to split and the plan all along has been to replace it anyway, I'm thinking of a Brushed Stainless or something similar.

Does anybody know who can supply them?

Anybody had experience with SC-Power and their dashboards, they seem quite cheap, are the any good?

Cheers chaps, I've seen these products before and I'm sure they look great, I am however after the real thing. Mostly because I am 100% useless when it comes to doing anything that is supposed to look neat and tidy

Here's mine in black suede

I would very much like to be able to do it myself, I just don't have the guts or know how Is there a nice group of 'fettlers' that accept beer and bacon sandwiches as payment who can walk me through it?

That black looks great, although my interior is already black on black so may be slightly OTT.

ive done my dash twice now had titanium look the first time found it was dazzling me sometimes so went for the blue carbon i can get the top dash off in 2 mins and probably do the rest blindfolded im in Worcestershire which is a bit far but could walk you thru it on the dog and bone or a write up on here

That looks great, I like the titanium. Really after brushed stainless though, I think it will look better with my Levin stuff.

I'm in the same situation whereby my dash has got some cracks in it and (eventually) will get round to replacing it. Although I will do basic (make that very baisc) work on my Chim the idea of replacing the dash is way beyond me. I love the carbon dash and think they look great but IMHO look out of place in some colour combinations.
I would love to put one in mine but I don't think it would look right ????
Can I ask what the going garage price is for supply and fitting of a wood veneer dash cos I've been quoted £800 approx (including vat).
This is mine but I don't think the carbon would look right .... do they do a green carbon effect as well as blue ??
Can't see anything except veneer looking right ??

I have the Leven dash ,no problems with reflections ..

[MADMAX2]

Your Leven Dash Daz cost more than a fiver then the titanium carbon just reflected light too much the blue is fantastic for the cost of your Leven Dash i could recover mine 20+ times!!!!!!!!

£50 fleabay but you can easily get it wrong by buying the dash for the slightly larger guages ,found out the hard way after hours of work ,the guages just fell through the hole .

ybt1982 - It's a lightly brushed stainless steel dash, you don't need pictures to know what that looks like. ;-)

Skateboard - You are being robbed! It's £200 plus VAT for a new veneered dash and radio panel and X-Works will charge you circa 3 x £45 plus VAT per hour to fit it.
