Would anyone be interested in a fibreglass lightweight corsa dashboard?

It would be smoothed of in the centre console to allow fit ment of gauges, switch's, tv screens etc etc

Just gauging interest really

I'm pretty sure I could add fixings into the mould to replicate something near standard to ease the fitment

Might be a better idea to make the cut down dashes like Ben has in his car, but out of carbon/fibreglass. Would be cool & light!

I say make a couple and put them up for sale. Id buy one if I had a track car, looks better than a cut dash imo

I would say a full dash would be roughly £140-£150 ish

Cut down version would be a lot cheaper though

I'd have to make the mould first and I'm still not sure if it would be worth me spending the time and money on them.

I've been quoted £90 for a cut down dash, made from an original dash, and then flocked.

Out of interest, how much would a carbon one be Chris?

Not sure on carbon dash prices just yet.

The mould would be worth money yes but I still have to spend my own in materials and labour to produce
