They look rather good for the price and the feedback is pretty solid bar one..

Just wondered if anybody has purchased one and can give me 'thumbs up' or 'thumbs down'.. and if they are a member on here?!

guess thats a no then?!

I can tell you this - the picture they are using is stolen from a well known dash maker who charges upwards
of £130 for top quality dashboards.

I would tread carefully.

What makes you think this?

I bought one from the guy, unpainted, think it was around £30 with fixings, and I sprayed it myself. I had no problems with it, brilliant finish for the price, and he cut out all the holes I specified perfectly in the right place. I actually went to pick it up as he isnt far from me and I was talking to him for a while about Mini's and the like.

I'd recommend them although they're awkward to fit but aren't they all?!

But yeah... I'd rather get one of those than spend over £100 and get exactly the same product and without the individual service you get from this guy.

Forgot to add the guy has one of these in his own mini and it has been sanded that smooth and painted that well that it actually looks like fibreglass. Says it all really!

[CooperTrooper]

Great! looked like such a bargain.. thought it might be too good to be true! Ill be purchasing one of these very soon! Cheers Chris.

If your looking for a decent 3+3 dash with radio slot, glovebox and vebt holes and fitting kit there is one knocking around somewhere for about £25 not including postage.

I might be buying one soon-ish from this guy, so I'll let you know what it's like if I do.

If the dashboard hasn't got an angled plynth for the dials the view of the gauges will be very poor.

He's also cropped the image of the fitted dash board to hide the view of the corners, this is where you will always find the difference in quality. A good dash will be made in such a way as the dash fits snugly between the upper and lower dash rail. A poor cheaper dash will sit in front of either dash rail and stick out, looking very naff.
