finally after days of agony lol i finally got the digi dash in my mk1 nova dash
took the piss and isnt perfect but its in and its solid =D
will get some pics up when i get the camera of my bro lol
also i sprayed up my gsi spoiler!

edit: the way i got the digi dash in was caveman style =P
got a hack saw and sawed up 4 slits up the dash so that it would flex in order for the much bigger digital dash to be RAMMED in lol
did take some force i tell yah but was defo worth it
i had to file off some of the digi dash high pieces on the back of the dash
and saw off the retaining lugs underneath otherwise i would have never got it in 2bf lol

pics up soon as i can

all you need now is an sr steering wheel lol im sure if you carefully pop off the cap next the the rear wiper swith there might be the heated seats illuminated sign then clip another switch and it adds somemore detail.
