Default S1 Dash

My s1 dash is in very bad condition and was wondering if it is possible to replace it with a s2 dash with ease? the heater control is different but what other main problems will there be??

has anyone else done this?

many thanks

fast ford mags, etc

series 2 dash would be terrible really

even if you had to settle for a good ghia dash (2 tone) would be better than a s2 dash

umm...u may be right...its just that i saw the series 2 dash which is black and thought hey that will go really nice with my black recaro leathers (not in yet)...also i thought hey mabye put the full series 2 interior in with the door cards and panels...but i think it may be better just to leave the 'grey' look

oh and nthorpey is that yellow?? bet that looks quite different....engine bay looks kewl tho....
