Just thought i'd share with you some pictures of my new leven dash. I love it and think it suits the dark blue leather and light blue carpets perfectly.

Here are a couple of before and after 'thumbs':

Hi

Not sure if its for me but thats personal choice I suppose

Does this mean you have a radio surround going spare??

If so and in good nick would like to buy it off you as mine is split.

It looks good to me

My car had an alloy dash and grills when I bought it which looks like Leven also (see profile)

Looks good mate, IMHO far better than the veneer and gives a much cleaner look. Some Ally dial surrounds would look good on it.
A wood rimmed wheel would also finish it off to perfection I think, have one on mine along with a stainless steel dash and I reckon it looks the nuts though may not appeal to the traditionalists on here.

I prefer the wood....think it gives it a more 'classic British' look.

That looks really good. I wonder how it would look with cream leather. Nice one.

I looked into this, but it made the interior VERY dark...

Hmmm.. intersting point Saying that though I have got a Magnolia hide interior with a Biscuit over Magnolia Dash, so probably not as drastic as it would seem in a darker one.?

Cheers

See below for the colours of my dash... (mulberry top over portland grey)... just didn't look right.

I was surprised by how little relflection you get off the Leven stainless dashes... but I have seen some homemade ones that were pretty bad IMHO...

wwesty - think you dash looks really cool, do you know where it was sourced from? Also what was the approx cost?

If any of you guys still have the old wooden dash hanging around, I'd be glad to splash some cash in your direction and take it off your hands, mine has a crack in it, bit of a traditionalist, you got to love wood
