You gotta admit though that is a very poor attemp at a flocked dash

I'm not sure it can be used again but if you find a spare dash.......

Lol, I know mate I've still got my old dash lol, didn't throw it out just in case!

I'm gonna get the dash modified for the guages & controls I'll be putting in then get the lot re-flocked. Probably use SFS when done, but its gonna be one of the last things to finish off the car.

Hello mate, have to give us a shout when its back from FMS.
Should be a nice spec but really hate the whole megasquirt thing

Btw I got a stage 2 + box in the end, and its booked in at MSD for the live map at the end of the month, picking it up after the Blackpool piss up, You going arent you?

Ill give you a shout when its done
