really in two minds at the moment whether or not to go for the racer look and rip all the carpets etc out or keep it slightly more subtle, anyway am definately gonna get a full roll cage was just wondering if i get a curley dash do i have to fit this first or after the cage have heard its really tricky, also whats the bst way to fit carbon door cards was gonna just rivet them on but if my winder mechanism breaks then i'll have to drill them out.

If you want to fit a curley carbon dash, put aside about 4 days works, they take bloody ages, loads of trimming.

im in the middle of fitting a carbon dash now what a bitch of a job.
firstly i fitted the main bit to the car to get the right shape then removed it. then i fitted the roll cage then had to cut the dash again to fit round that. then the center console had to be cut to match the main bit of the dash. and ive still got to fit the pod bit in front of the steering wheel*frown* hope its worth it.

dont know what people use to cut theres but i got a jigsaw bit from b&q for cutting fibre glass and it works a treat.

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.
