I love the ally dashes in concept cars. Much more tasteful than tacky old man wood. It isn't 1970, afterall. Nice one!

Looks like you will have to change your stereo now (wood effect fascia).

Agreed the stereo does look a bit out of place now! Still at least the dash looks good now. Forgot to mention also, that the dashes can either have different air vents or std, and the warning lights can either be as std with black cover OR have seperate holes for a more classic style.

Always handy to have some wood to touch on the dash though, especially when driving a TVR!

Looks great with that car's colours. As a matter of interest, how are you manufacturing them? Do you have access to a machine shop, or is this the rebirth of cottage industry?

No, all dashes made in machine shop run by my Father. Template made from original, then changes made to enhance any features. Also remove glue from back of dash as fitted by tvr (hold on switches and led's) and use proper fasteners. Hence different finishes available and any dash can be made.

If you are still after a picky let me know. My Griff is fitted with the 'Woven' alloy dash, so I can get an image to you if you still need it.
