Have you considered the glare aspect though?

[Pistol Pete]

I make it. Well, I wet lay into a mould myself.

Bear in mind re creating from scratch is very hard to get right :S

[deanwilko]

would you consider doing a nova dash or no anyone that can

I could wrap one, but recreating one :tard: that would take some hours!

That does look very cool :)

^that is a lot of hours work.

All in it take about a hour to prep & lay up one sqaure meter in flat section. But a complete dash, the lay up & vacum bagging & getting it right, thats some hours.

[deanwilko]

mike what would you charge to wrap one?

The lay up gets silly complicated on something like that, you basically have to design a 2d net of a curved 3d shape that will fit over it, plan where the lines are so they're not stressed or reinforce them etc etc, even I cant get my head round how it works exactly and have done a workshop with the stuff!

[Mike]

A dash is a whole lot of hours & if Im honest, not something Ive ever tried, nay, even contemplated! Furthest ahead Ive gone is small panels (wing mirror covers, ash tray lids, grab handles etc etc)

The bigger stuff ill be doing in the new year, bonnets & wings etc.

Bear in mind these are total pros and will most likely laugh, or charge a LOT :)

Best part of a grand easy IMO.

Indeed........ I spoke to Don about it a few years back regarding a full dash and that was the approximate he gave iirc.
