How about solid oak? Or tulip wood?

What company at bingley had the twin cupholder that fits into a radio gap

Basically the same size as a CD player but was a thin draw that pulled out and a twin cupholder underneath that

Might have been custom consoles, maybe talk to them bout the cupholders although I doubt they would want to give business away lol

That's quite a good idea, but the problem is you have to choose between a cup holder or a radio/CD player... fingers crossed we can sort a solution out so you can have both.

Or instead of a radio cut out and 3 aux dials

Have another radio cut out in place of the 3 extra dials :)

I'll be after a dash soon and id like the dials to be more prominent and not look sunken behind the dash like others have said

I'll keep an eye out on what new styles you come up with rather than requesting a custom design

I did contemplate oak but never managed to find a decent chunk of English oak and couldn't bear to put French in!

This was really cool, Ive got the full electrnic version but havent got round to fitting it.

We could certainly look into that for you - making a standard dashboard that we will be offering out of a different material will be no problem at all.

A solid oak dashboard would be very expensive, before we even start manufacturing it you are looking at a cost of over £60 for a router cutter (oak is such a hard wood that it eats cutters). So I'd estimate that a solid oak dashboard would be somewhere in the £170 to £200 region.

Wood and picket style! I would love one like that.

A nice idea but that wouldn't fit on the height of the dashboard (hence why also, you can't fit a double din CD player/radio between the dash rails in a dashboard).

Phone/MP3 player docking is something we have considered and something that we will be looking at introducing on our central arm rests.

There a tray on them that is perfect for it.

Ohhh my bad, I'll get me coat haha

One more though, do you do any half dashes?? Just a dash to put dials in and maybe a CD player, my last idea

[roberts]

Wood and picket style! I would love one like that.

Aren't Wood and Picket dashboards just normal dashboards covered in either carbon fibre or burr walnut? Or did you mean more like the custom builds that they have done over the years?

If it's the later, we won't be doing anything like that, they are there designs - so we don't want to rip them off :)

We could certainly offer you a half dashboard, but I don't know why anyone would want half a dashboard - personally I think it would look silly?

I'm trying to think of something different but think I'm trying to hard

May steal other ideas from this thread, I'll wait for the new dashes thread
