    Cracking effort there and done very well. Unfortunately I have never thought the MK2 digi dash ever suited the round look of the MK3 dash binicle. You also loose the corners of the displays.

    I do like how you've moulded the 2 dashes together, quite novel really.

    I think it looks really good and think that losing the corners is worth it for the overall outcome.

    Now start selling conversion kits and make a bit of money!!!!

    top job there, seen this done a couple of times in a corsa and my brothers mk3, i think the reason no one sells them on ebay is that it takes so long to make them! im sure if someone could then they would sell like hot cakes!
