Bought a TFT screen + dvd player for mrsFrog's cossie, car already had three gauges in top vent and the lower part of the dash doesn't really lend itself to having a pop out screen in there, so the computer module had to go... here's how.

MDF blank to fill the hole:


Tapered edges for a flush fit.


Test fitting


Hole made for the cage


Needed to trim a few internal plasticky bits off


Now glued in place and gaps filled


In-car test fit.


Can still the the important part of all the gauges



A little more filling and sanding required for a real smooth factory look, then priming/painting to the original plastic

Pictures of finished article below...

 

looking good

 

shithot i love it m8t

 

Looks very good You got an original picture, before and after sort of thing?

I have always been tempted to put a screen in the RST, but it's not that kind of car if you know what I mean

 

Thanks guys. Hopefully finished product by the end of the week

Tony, I didn't take a picture before now but my other sapph has an identical computer module, I'll put that up later
