you change the dash,you change the rest of the interior, as it will stand out like a sore thumb.full interior change or nothing,if the gte interior you have is mint then imo id be keeping it as it is, original.:)

The only time it would induce jealousy is if we had a particularly large door we needed to jam open lol

..and all mk1 owners are jealous because their cars rust quicker than mk2's. FACT. :p ;) lol
Mk1 dashs fit in with the square faced front end IMO. If that makes sense??!!
MK1 cars often look better, the old SR's are awesome and the standard mk1's look sort of euro cool compared to the washing machine look of standard mk2's, but the dashes should be piled up and burnt lol

pssssttt, other way round :( :D
i saw swap, i did it and will never look back
and about making it match i was sensible and got a grey dash for a grey interior
..and all mk1 owners are jealous because their cars rust quicker than mk2's..
I dont think so:wtf:

Or a jacked up saloon that needed the rear wheels chocking. A feat at which the Mk1 dash excelled itself lol
Hmm, afaik that dash is still sat in Alex's dad's barn. Along with the skinny bumper which I want back lol

if u crash your mk1 the first thing you head but is the top of the stereo on a mk1. and everyone can see what you are listening to from behind lol

stick with the mk1 dash mate ive put the mk2 in all my gtes and deeply regretted it lol
of topic im starting to prefer my mk1 nova to my mk2 nova maybe a breaking of it could be on the way lol
Imo mk2 dashes are the best, mk1 novas are better, combine the two and youre onto a winner....
To add evidence to my case i present exhibit A....
