hello all,
i have been looking into getting a carbonfibre/glassfibre dash but the only ones i can find are from curley carbon, and there a little too race inspired for what im after. I have seen a few mini's with "minisave" dash's which is more what im looking for, but i know that is a real grey area?

i have found a company on fleabay that do them but i dont know what they are like?? has anyone purchased one from them?
fibreglass dash

or does anyone know of someone or a company that are producing this type of dash?

any help/advise would be great

cheers, Rob

I know of someone who bought one which was similar to this. I cant ask him about it i'm affraid cause he's no longer with us. But from what i remember he cut it all out. ( Clocks ect ) sprayed it up. Fabricated some mounts for it. and spent a day or so putting it in.

Attatched is a picture of it in his car.

yep thats the one! it comes as one piece and then you have to trim it to fit, and cut out all the dash holes etc.

thats cool i fully understand, cheers for the help though.

i just dont know whether to trust this company or not? has anyone bought from this ebay listing?

cheers

The bloke who designed that dash is on here some were not sure who though, but there are some fakes which arnt as good a quality at the originals unfortunately i can't remember the name of the company he sells through

Edit: I've just checked my facts etc and he sells them through jonspeed which is who is selling that one so i would say go for it

Custom consoles are a quality if not slightly pricey company that have been going for years, if you buy from them you wouldn't be disappointed.
