Opinions on dash please....

[Corin Denton]

I am currently toying with the idea of fitting a stainless dash to my car, the only problem is that I think the woodrim wheel might look out of place so do I...

a) Just fit the dash?

b) Polish the spokes on the original leather steering wheel and have it retrimmed in Mulberry leather to match?

c) Leave it as it is?

Ta, Corin

I'd say leave it as it is but if you simply must have the ali dash get the wheel trimmed in leather.

Looks pretty damn good as it is.

I'd leave it well alone and spend the money on Shiraz.

[pies]

Save money,leave it as is

[oxbow]

Stick

Yeh, leave it as it is but fit a wooden gearknob and handbrake grip if there is one.
Do you smoke a pipe? If not, get one to match the dash etc

Don't do it Corin!

Personally, I'm not a big fan of the metal dash's anyway but your interior will definately be spoiled if you change the current format.

Save your dough and treat yourself to a nice weekend break instead, safe in the knowledge that you have a lovely, untampered Griff at home!

[CooperGreen]

I wouldn't, but if you do, I'll have the wood rim off you

(c) It looks fine to me. Very nice. Ain't broke, don't fix it

Thats a shame, the door boards say "Chimera"

I would say leave it as it is, I'm not keen on the metal dashes either. But then, I think the all in one leather TVR dashes don't look that great either

I reckon the s/s dash would look great. The usual pleasant contrast of the veneer dash is totally lost in all that mulberry.

Loose the wooden wheel. It is not a TR4.

Agree totally with that, The SS one would look much better as that wooden one is well lost. The wheel might look ok when the Dash is in, so would leave that for now.
