Only one fault - that is just far too cool


richardh - 23/4/10 at 03:05 PM

omega0684 - 23/4/10 at 03:08 PM

looks bloody aweful! (jealous much!)


big-vee-twin - 23/4/10 at 03:15 PM

When you making mine, you know all the dims LOL!!


tomprescott - 23/4/10 at 03:19 PM

Looks awesome!
Only one thing - will all the shiney shiney reflect the sun back at you hiding the lcd screen?


Yorkie - 23/4/10 at 03:20 PM

Mate, thats


Can I have one is green please? LOL


55ant - 23/4/10 at 03:22 PM

cant say i like it to be honest, post it to me and ill dispose of it for you!

lol, that looks brilliant, really smart.

That will give you something real solid to punch on the change up`s when the gear knob comes off........

You should have continued the theme for the rest of the dash and shape the bottom to get rid of the flat slab look that would make it look really fab

That is far too good.

Im drooling


TimC - 23/4/10 at 03:40 PM

Fair play - that is nice! Your only problem? It makes the Sierra stalks look a bit sheeeet.


franky - 23/4/10 at 03:43 PM

Looks awesome great looking car too.

IMO the acewell needs to go as its not built to the same level of 'finish' as the rest of the car..... Still looks good but I guess you know what I mean!?


Dangle_kt - 23/4/10 at 03:44 PM

love it!


speedyxjs - 23/4/10 at 04:02 PM

That looks amazing!


iscmatt - 23/4/10 at 04:04 PM

I would swap the battery and hand brake lights over, symmetry with the hand brake on

Agree - personally I don't like those grey LCD screens much. a bit too "bike computer" for my liking.

But, the overall effect and simple yet striking design of the central section is brilliant!


zoom - 23/4/10 at 04:16 PM

very nice


dlatch - 23/4/10 at 04:17 PM

very jealous

Eddie, it's time to stop showing off, don't you think? That is the nicest dash I've seen on a 7alike. When are you going to market it? I am sure many would be interested - you can offer with or without switches. And your - er - knob - looks good too. Where did that come from?


Miks15 - 23/4/10 at 04:48 PM

Looks really good ed! well done mate.

Just out of interest whats the middle screen for? Since i can see the acewell behind the wheel?


gottabedone - 23/4/10 at 04:51 PM

oooh errrr missus


eddie99 - 23/4/10 at 05:06 PM

Thanks for all the fantastic comments. Im really chuffed!!

I've prob missed some but to answer some of the questions:
The gearknob is a fine coozer product! Highly recommend
The sierra stalk does look a bit crap if im honest. Not sure if there can be a direct replacement? Anyone know if you can just buy a flash stalk?
The screen in the centre is for a VI performance screen which does 0-60 times and g forces and basically a little gadget that i think is a bit of fun. Am just looking into a satnav that is the same size to fit in that space though to change when needed. Although i haven't designed it for any particular satnav and therefore i might not be able to charge it while in its position limiting battery life.
I will swap over the warning lights, think your way would definitely be better.


Stuart_B - 23/4/10 at 05:26 PM

nice one edd,

what size hole is that in the middle? i will have a look around for a satnav for you

Took the photos while it was, it isnt any more but shhhh. Managed to pick it up with dirty hands...... Will make it look like new though!


Steve Hignett - 23/4/10 at 11:05 PM

Looks good...

Think the rest of the tunnel top would benefit from being a diff material... Carbon maybe???


hicost blade - 24/4/10 at 10:55 AM

Its quite nice, my only thought would be that you could have extended it back to the rear bulkhead and done somthing really neat with a bespoke handbrake lever/arm rest.


coozer - 24/4/10 at 11:39 AM

Wow, looks fab, and that gearknob looks absolutely fantastic


meewisse - 1/11/11 at 02:58 PM

Looks great,

Did you laser-cut the alu? and how did you achieved the "GTS" part and the circle through the signal lights?

Ali was laser cut yes, The GTS is laser cut out of the Ally onto the white background behind. Thats how the GTS part is created. Simple but effective. Circle through the signal lights is again laser cut into the ally.
