Bit a mare today.........had planned out my new dash with the carbon fibre but it didn't come out as i had visioned it 
So spent the whole day cut and shaping the panels and nothing 
Anyway, got my spare dash out and just slapped some of the panels onto thats, pretty much the same as Jason P's old one. Was so pissed off, didn't take any piccys, but will do tomorrow as it should be pretty much complete (Dash, not the car) and i can't then start the wiring

Much easier, but still taking time.......want to do it nicely
Also, started wiring up the loom......
And received this today.....

I cant believe nobodies said it yet. But that looks awful. Considering the quality of the job you're doing with the rest of the car. The dash is the 1 thing that lets it down. Im not saying I could do better (far from it) but surely you can make it look nicer?
It really looks like its a 2 minute cut out a couple of shapes and self tapper them on. Please for the sake of the car do it again.
IMHO, so dont get the hump.

Also forgot to say the car looks
The engine bay looks very good to say you have done it on the cheap...........
Also a Sparco Alloy strut brace might fit and clear the Manifold (well at least it did on Lewis's car)
