i made my own dash bord during the week. it is made from 10mm plastic board which is light, stif and very easy to work. i then coverd it in wadding and black leather look PVC. in total it cost me £13 and i think it looks great. i am very pleased with it. i will post pictures up tomorow for people to look at and judge for themselfs. a real bargin, and if you have the time, and dont mind fiddeling about, i would recomend making one yourself.

the template is from here: http://www.theminifo...p?showtopic=445
i changed it a little bit, but not much, just trimmed a bit here and there.
glad people think it looks good. :grin:
i did loose all that space, but it only filled up with mess and looked scruffy. so no loss really, i just use the rear bins now!

with the rear speaker board on the parcel shelf, how did you measure up and get the right dimensions, was it trial and error? cut a bit out, sand to shape?
