Jesus, seems a lot for that, no offence - whats wrong with getting a blank or template made up and then getting it cut out of some sheet? It would cost no more than a couple of quid..? Im not being a Yorkshireman here but - you could get loads cut and made at the same time?

i have the perfect template now;) and as it goes I am chuffed with the price with that and the price of the LED bulbs I got a great looking dash for under £20

You are spot on - your right about the perfect template to make more!! I agree its not much, but these things cost buttons to make.. Even if you sold them on for a tenner including postage you would be making a killing..

Got one of these about 6 months ago and it's just started to lift in the middle ever so slightly. It's gonna be coming back out to stick it down so it ain't never lifting off! :)

Clean all the edges up and provide clearance for warning lights and it'll look really good instead of good.

£13 delievered is a steal, can you imagine how much work would have to go into cutting that by hand!

It would imagine its laser cut and I dont see anyone setting up to do a batch of those in the UK for less than £13 a pop delivered. Carriage alone is going to be a few quid, even with 1st class post.

thanks but I think thats the angle I took the photo, as it sits really nice.

I have to agree with Bren as not only did it get posted from the states (within a week)well protected, it was in proper retail packaging with instructions and adhesive, so added to the cost of laser cutting, the raw material, brush finishing, printing instructions and the packaging top, supply of plastic bag etc plus overheads, I am very happy with the price

Looks good and a good price for an off the shelf part :thumbs:

(Part of my job is sheetmetal programming / estimating, but I won't tell you how much I reckon we could knock it out for ;) )

With regards to the S14 one.

Could you not modify it like this to fit the S14a?

Think that would look nice
