and yes, joff has put a corsa dash in his but has modified it sooo much, hes completely re-wired it, if you were planning a straight swap there are heater pipes and switches to relocate!

stick with your dash, no need to swap really, focus on stuff that will make the car perform better!

Fitting the corsa dash is a real pain ... but give it a go if you want!!

Tips from personal experience :-

1. Start triming the dash to make it fit a little at a time, then keep offering it up to see where it fits / doesn't fit

2. Get the steering column in the right place - this will need the brackets drilling out and moving and rewelding so the column comes out of the dash in the right place.

3. Make some brackets at each end of the dash so its held secure.

4. Take your time and don't rush !

Here's some pictures to help .....
