i would agree , although its not something that i would personally ,have in mine it is a pretty awsome project , and respect to you for starting it. i certainly wouldnt have had the vision to even attempt such a thing.
i seem to recall somewhere ( i think it was on northeast mini club forum years back before it became like this forum) there was a series of people converting citroen saxo dashboards to fit minis.

again, seems like a good unique thing to do , if you get it to fit then its not a waste of money.

Would be nice if you got it to fit... don't give up on it!!

with some thing like that it can look really good a or really shiz but its a gamble with most mods on cars thats the best bit

[Tomf]

Looks really good keep the pics coming as you make progress

[roberts]

i think that looks great!

smoothed down and sprayed it should look sweet!

[Danny_California]

That looks really cool, bit of work around the edges and some work fabricating the switch panel to fit into the DIN hole and it will look great!
Any progress by the way??

[Retro_10s]

As you asked for input I will give you some advice if you dont mind?

The fibreglass on plastic apprach is not going to give you any real longevity and will eventually crack etc.
Get yourself a plastic welding kit, OR if youre tight like me use a soldering iron to melt the plastic together from the back and once joined use the same type of plastic (small slithers cut from dicarded sections) and melt is right into the joins at the front.
Sand the joins flat and hey presto is one solid plastic part that will flex with the car and take the expansion and movemnt from the heat that can build up inside the car durim hot summer shows etc.

I think its great to modernise the look of the interior and by using a dash thats completely different to the norm I think youre onto a winner.
I think it will look cracking once its done
