Great thread. How hard was it to change the dash? Looking to change the dash in Poppy , the only difference being she has 3 clocks.

I thought it was gonna be a hard job but it was relatively easy! The hardest bit is to make the speado cluster to fit the back of the dash but it's not that hard. The dash i have only had three fixing places on the back you just tighten it up and it's done! Good luck!

I much prefer the original lenses, but I don't like clear ones anyway. Wheels are looking good too. :D

Just read the whole thread, and I agree you've made ALL the right decisions, especially with going back to those original rear lenses. Keep up the good work.
