where did you get the dials from - love the colour of the dash itself makes the dials stand out more
I got the main dial plasma faces from aocmpany called "mygarage".

The auxillary gauges are autogauge ones from ebay.

Theres my effort, not as flash/impressive as many on here which look fantastic but I like keeping it simple although I may add a temp gauge and voltmeter to the left and right off the rev counter at some point.
I'd love a tidier solution to the CD player as well but I haven't quite got around to it yet, other jobs include painting the heater unit white to match the rest and more important, labelling the blooming switches! Anyone know where I can get some black-on-white labelling?

I reckon moving the CD player to where the switch panel is would look really good, and you could put the switches round the speedo then hide the choke and heater cable under the bottom dash rail between the steering wheel and drivers door.

What I might do with the CD is fit it into a board that goes under the rear seat (which I don't use anyway) and see how that goes.

Interesting idea, I tried putting a CD player in there before but it was a bit of a fag and to be honest, although it's hardly original, I quite like the toggle switch panel there like that, keeps the dash nice and empty.

Here's a picture of chris' car (username is bert998) from retro retims.
The cd player is in the switch panel and the switches are kind of hidden out the way. I think it look amazing.
