I'm looking for a dashboard that has had the laminate damaged and been swopped out.

I fancy seeing if I can relaminate or carbon fibre a dash up but all could go wrong so don't want to pay too much for one.

Havent Got a back but see my profile HERE

Its quite far down but there is some info on when i Made my Carbon Dash. Hopefully will be ading a page to my Website on how I made mine shortly.

Basically I Took the old Venner off, brought some CSC Carbon Fibre.(under £100)
Used the steel backing of the venner as a template on The CF.
Cut it out just over size/under size for the Holes.
Glued the CF to the steel Backing, and filed down CF to the steel backing.
Done the same for switch panel and had some left over to do Astray covers.
Still have a little bit left that I may make a Brake Fluid Reservoir cover with.
