gave it 1 more skim.. and then fileld some pinholes..painted it rover hurricane grey.. and this is the finished result..

think the colour is the closest im going to get.. it does look awsome.. i need to chop the vent pipes at the beck abit and remove a big un-nessecary buldge of cardboard backing on the dash.. doesnt do anything.. its not even part of the dash haha

anyway.. she went out in the rain!!!

Good skills, I'd be tempted to paint the rest of the top dash cowling to match though. Maybe give it a matt coat to stop any reflections off the sun too.

nice work dave im impressed mate;) do agree with jack as to painting the rest of the dashcowling etc,matt paint is a very good point as in glare of the sun,headlights etc:thumb:

I'm liking that mate.
What you doing about the other hole left behind by your other cd player?

He's keeping it as well :)

You went up in my book then with the skills on that DVD player thing but then finding out your going to just leave anothr cd player in the other hole has made you drop a level.

I would do something creative with that other hole like get a cd player cage smooth it with filler and fibre glass on inside then use it to store a cd wallet in.

ETC...
