If you think it will look ok take the dash, centre consoles are always around £30 but dashs tend to be more expensive, can you cut the dash down to fit?

i'd say save it or make your own, that looks like a poor fitting dash

No offence to whoevers dash it is but if you put that in your car you will regret it every day when you get in the car and look at the gaps, it can't be cut to fit because it some areas it's too small.
There is a reason a good custom dash is around the £100 mark, if you decide to go custom let me know, there is a member on here who has dont me a blank and it's superb!

ross k

Made me a very good blank but he also does them fully finished and veneered with a fitting kit for (i think) £100, totally custom!
Can't praise him enough
