    Ooooohhhhh have you got your new one ready for installing John ?
    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    I've let you down Davy, I've just bought an anthracite dash and trim bits. I'll be painting the rev counter surround and steering wheel inserts to match. Will look like the below minus the 2 spoke wheel, unless of course I make a dogs dinner of the fitting.

    Kids at primary school can paint better than me, it would have been no masterpiece

    Reduced to £35

    Dash out, a lot easier than I thought it would be, about 90 minutes start to finish with the new dash below fitted. I also swapped the centre console tubes, cup holder, gear gaiter surround and Harman Kardon tweeter / handle surrounds.



    Just need to paint the Rev counter surround and wheel inserts the same colour as the dash, BMW's anthracite, does anyone know the paint code please?

    Oh no more painting John ? I'm not too sure that the interior may have a code ..
    I'll check and see what I can find out :)
