Hey guys, putting the feelers out there seeing if anyone wants a custom dash done,same as whats in mike's (sikvlt) wag.pretty sure you have all seen it. Do the centre console aswell. I can do it any colour you want,shave the pen rail on left hand side,take the texture out of plastic etc etc,how ever you want it.can fibre glass any cracks or unwanted bits,and fix the ever failing VL plastic panel that sits above steering wheel,the tin panel usually breaks away from plastic lugs. Let me know if your keen,be better if you can supply dash and parts yourself. I will supply all materials including paint,unless you have your own you want to supply thats kol. Cheers Kelvin

Can paint any colour,if you give me colour code or sample of body colour i can do that,any gloss level, mike's sikvlt (my brother) dash is full gloss and it does glare on screen sometimes but its no biggie and doesnt blind ya. hope that helps,feel free to ask away if your still unsure. questions welcomed Kelvin Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
