Re: Nova 1.0 build (Trackday car)

mr spanishfly can you please pm me details of where your screen came from and at what price?

couldnt afford one originally but now i need a new screen for the rally car anyway so considering putting a heated one in and binning the heater (altho i reallly just want to be able to blank and flock the controls on the dash to look cool )
