Default xr2 dash change

Can the dash from a mk3 fiesta xr2i be fitted into a mk 2 xr2 without too much fuss?

can be fitted, but it does require "some" triming, not a straight job

Default dash

Do you know roughyl whereabouts I will be looking to adjust and is it just a case of shaving material off and pushing it up> Are the clocks a direct change as well, cheers

not to sure about the clock situation, but most of the trimming needs doing at the top where the dash meets the windscreen and at the sides

and you will need to use the plugs for the clocks and controls from the mk3,.

Didn't Chris Foster do this to one of his XR's? Looks loads better than the Mk2 dash but I can't see it being completely straight forward
