Looks like you've done a nice job there matey! I do like the glow of the dials!
I've never been really sure of the best way to update the dash. I like the silver one minute and then the next I don't.
I think a nice subtle (but expensive) way of updating the dash is to perhaps retrim the seats and doorcards -red leather perhaps? Like Rogue are offering. The Honda S2000 is ok inside but the red leather seats really do finish it off IMO.
Nice work :)

Particularly don't like the silver dash as its following a trend that new cars have for silver plastic dash's which just makes the quality look far worse than it does in black. I think it give it a few years and silver dash's will go out of fashion much like those hideous clear lenses.

No offence intended. ;)


like u see on rover 200 series! ha ha ha ha there now white when indicating

keep the commets coming in, lol!!


nicely done!!! i did mine silver at first but then changed it to a Steel Moonlight Grey (halfords).... its not as "in ur face" as the silver but not that dark so you have to look closely to notice the difference.

Dont like the Blue interior light bulbs (only cos they dont light anything up!).... love the colour combo though- can see some green lights at the heater controls- i never took this apart to find out if the bulbs can be changed..... can they? easily?

for everyone that doesnt like sprayed dashboards.... imagine the car with silver & black recaros..... to die for (kind of :lol: )

Hi I think it looks pretty cool I have got some white dials from Lockwood and some of the silver chrome effect rings from mr2oc also instead of spraying my dash in silver I may get the dash kits from e-bay in either carbon fibre or brushed aluminium effect to finish it off nicely.

i changed the interior light to blue in my old *cough* vauxhall cavalier. it looked cool except when it was dark and you were trying to count change for a late night munch after the pub! all the coins looked them same under the moonlight style blue glow :D
