Next project will be to replace the leather covered dashboard with a burl walnut one to match the steering wheel.

However, the appearance of the oval insert housing the instruments has never particularly appealed to me and I feel that to simply place this back in with the new dash is going to look pretty ordinary

My thoughts turned to something like carbon fibre but am worried that this would not marry too well with the burl walnut and not be in-keeping with the vehicle.

Has anyone tackled this dilema before? Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers,
Neil.
