Maybe a really silly question!!!!

Hi Guys,

This maybe a really silly question but I want a new dash panel as I have new dials now so did you guys just make a new dash panel and fit it or do you buy them off the shelf and modify them?
I have a formula 27.

Thanks in advance.

Kerr

I am rubbish at diy. Would I take out my old dash and take it to a wood place and ask them to cut me a new piece the same?

Sorry, these are newbie questions!

If you are asking these questions and confessing your poor DIY skills i suggest you look amd search on here for as many ideas and tips as possible. There is even a" show me your dash thread"

Expect it to be wrong first and have a couple of attempts.
