I thought that people with centre clock dashes may be interested in this. I've made up two of these covers, one in aluminium and one in bright annealed stainless. i'm just wondering what people's thoughts on them are, and if you would buy one for your car? if people like them, i'll make some more up. the stainless ones would be more expensive, as they are a right pig to make and stainless costs more. the aluminium one i screwed on, but the stainless one i did with ally rivets, which i think looks better. it mounts on through the standard holes for the chrome trim. the next thing i'm going to try is putting a swage round the edge to make it look neater.

Look good.

Prefer the rivets to the screws.

thanks. if anybody wants them, i'd supply them with the rivets. then you'd just have to get a cheapo rivet gun to put it on
