    A start to new dash... FINISHED!!!!

    Well yesterday I started to strip my dash of the silver R parts.....

    Dave the trimmer came over this morning and worked his magic once again....

    Now I know this aint going to be everyones taste but again I just want my car different from the rest... The reason behind this was the silver was all scratched and damaged

    Anyhoo heres some pics just now....









    More pics to follow as the work progresses i.e Dash top in black and the glovebox bit with something special

    Hi Fraz

    I think it looks wicked mate. I'm all up for unique mods. I've got a few ideas myself, but i need to source a decent trimmer down my neck of the woods!

    Keep up the good work!
