Hey ppl some of you might have seenme post some things about putting in a new dash face well heres the 70% finished product ***my phone doesnt take the best pic and dont have a digi cam so this is all i could get *** next thing to do from me is to print it onto like an over head projector slip thng and then put semi transperant white plastic on the back, and put it in, ill see how it looks and go from there. Tell me what u think plz Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I don't think it looks that much better than the standard one, but it would make it stand out a bit, it's different. I think toning down the bright white of the outer ring's of the gauges would make it look better. The marks for the 5 km on the speedo would have me squinting... maybe your photos are bit dodgy... you'd really have to see it in person to decide if it's good or not. Get better pics!

settle down red, I think we've all hung sh!t in Marmo at some stage but I think you're going a tad far. I personally like the first facia, you also need to show some pics at night (with a decent camera).
