You've got more patients than me. And I'm pretty patient lol

Looks good. I'd say go for it and do all the dash panels :L :first:

The biggest key point to it is to use some water with a bit of washing soap in it. This keeps it from setting directly on contact. It gives you a bit of time to set it right. Also, a hair dryer or heat gun does wonders to soften the vinyl and give it a bit of stretch. As for working with it, as long as you go slowly, the curves aren't that big of a problem.

i did a bike for someone a couple of years ago, and i used a scalpel as opposed to stanley knife and it was easier to cut because you have more control over it, you can get them off ebay for about £4 delivered for 10, but if you only want 1 pt me your addy and ill send ya one :L

Looks good on one switch, but i think it might be a tad overkill if you do the whole dash with it.

Couldnt you just do all the removable switches rather than all the surrounds.

Looking good m8 :)

Anybody ever seen one of these in a car?:

Dash kit
Yes, and they look terible fitted. They're too stiff (ooeer) and dont bend round the curves. Ford actuall do a kit like that for wood effect! It's pants. Much better to do the vinyl. I trimmed the ash tray in my old Mk2 in carbon fibre effect vinyl to match the ST200 speedo surround and door inserts
