not to my taste, looks like someone used it for a suicide bombing.

I think you need to step back and re-think the whole design, the clocks look like someone at the vauxhall factory sneezed when they attached them to the dash and all sorts of tom foolery going on.

OK I got that out of my system.

Try hiding the cables, the cables make it very messy in my opinion, then it should look alot cleaner.

the dials aint in an ideal position, you'll have to sit right up and look over to see ur fuel gauge and stuff like that, and after all the work would it not have been better to get some digital dials and mould the in somewhere, its looks totally out of place and it doesnt suit the rest of the dash, aslo the 'thing' hanging out of the passenger side sould of been put under the shelf or something as its put that side of the dash all out of shape,


looks abnormally horrid


sorry that was kinda harsh

mm not keen at all mate, just looks like you are attempting to become fibreglass king!

if your trying something along the lines of fears car then you need to start again!

That dial pod would look ok if was blended in lower down not just dropped ontop and angled towards the driver.

But hey ho well done for being different

good idea but think the design as a whole needs serious reconsiderations, as previously said must be murder to see tempreature gauge. pod looks like it has just been sat on rather than blended in etc. like how you have moved heater controls was this hard to do?

Good effort, but if you insisted on keeping the standard dials then you should have placed them on an angle towards you, like the Toyota Yaris dash. Would be a bit easier to see then.

Tim surely that would mean there was some sort of design in the first place?

Well yes, I was crediting the randomness with some sort of pre-meditation!

I started a dash before my one now with dials in the middle but they are simply to big really, you can get them in there but you have to cut alot away and mount them alot further down but this means the holes and airwasy for the screen heaters becomes not usable thats why i went the way of the screen with mine!

my ultimate idea was to get a stack dash like Tims and centrally mount that but at £900 i was already spending enough to do the dash with out forking out that much more!

TBH custom dashs really have to be custom a complete re build or they never look quite right, mine didnt turn out aswell as id hoped and would prefer a trimmed standard dash!

again fair play for having a go yourself but maybe a little bit more thought could have gone into it, the whole time i was making mine i was always stepping back and thinking how things would work and how they would look!
