Nice colour - could do with bigger wheels though - not too big mind, 15 inch or something would make a world of difference!

I do like that dash!

next mission i guess is to find one of those swooping dashs for my phase 2 Smile

I take it that the extra controls on the heater panel are for the aircon?

nice ,tidy looking car indeed .

just noticed the clock is in the middle of all switches ,is that a ph1 thing?
my ph2 s clock is on the left and all the switches are on the right

210kmh is 130mph ,not bad for a 1.4 engine but in fact he is doing 195kmh in that pic which is about 115mph

nope, clock on my phase 1 is far left of the switches

must be a phase 3 thing, a pic i found of another swooping dash -

Switches are also different by the looks of them to phase 2.

dont like the swoopy dash to be honest ,it takes all the retro look away .thats my personal opinion of course.

here is a pic of my dash and clock ,sorry about the quality

yep your clock in the pic is in the same place as on both my phase 1 and phase 2

only difference is i have a digital clock on my phase 1

the dashboard was from a renault 19 turbo diesel, the other parts was from the old dash, the clock and the other parts, the yellow parts and swiches, and yes the extra controls on the heater panel are for the aircon (A.C).

i would like a digi clock to be honest but not sure if the suitable plug is there in my ph2 or not,might

Level 2 User Joined: 24 Oct 2004 Posts: 49
