Just finishing the dash cover so I can park in the sunshine. The stainless air vents match the dash ones so shouldn't reduce the windscreen air flow..

Stitched the red "go faster" stripe  The stainless steel bit I got off ebay from a guy who hand makes them. About £35 I think. My dash is good so I thought it was worth a few quid to keep it that way.. Alex |

That is really nice. I am buying a car with a cracked dash top, and reading on Rennlist you can buy a kit to fill the splits and reseal. This seems like a better way of resolving the issue! R |

This seems like a better way of resolving the issue! R It's pretty simple. I'll take a picture of it fitted. My dash is good so I just don't want to risk it getting cracked in the sun. I hold it down against the screen with a strip of foam neoprene in black. Alex |
