Probably worth serious consideration - when I first drove a mk5 fiesta I
thought there was a very bad crack in the screen, until realising it was the
reflection of the airbag join moulding in the dash!

Subject: Re: [Quantum Owners] Replacement dashboards?
I should have mentioned earlier but if you customise the original dashboard
then the friend I sold my flocking company to could then flock the dash to your
requirements in a range of colours or two tone etc, the finish is like
alcantara and stops any glare on the windscreen in bright sunlight. If you are
on Facebook if you search for Face Lift Autos you will find him.

Hi folks,
My 2+2's dashboard is starting to look a little tired and rather than just
take it out and clean it up I wondered about replacement. A quick search of the
forum here reveals that a Mark3 Fiesta, a Vauxhall Corsa, a Ford Orion and, of
course, A Fiat Coupé have all provided a 2+2 with a new dash at some point but
those threads are all pretty old. I do also recall seeing one Q which had
acquired a Jag XJS' interior, up at Stourbridge. I'd like something that is a
little more modern and I kind of like keeping a Fiesta connection if I can.
I've been looking at the dash fitted to the Mark 5 Fiesta (and Puma) as a
likely candidate. A very cursory glance suggests that a lot of the major
controls are in roughly similar positions and I think it's more attractive than
the flatter dash used on the more recent Fiestas. But I've not done any
measuring or thinking much beyond that point, so far.
The alternative I'm thinking of is to track down another Mark 2 Fiesta dash
and play around with it outside the car to see what I can do with it myself.
This way I can explore several options without having to take my Q off the road
while I investigate. Sadly those are getting pretty rare, coming up as more
expensive than some modern ones.
Have any of you considered the Mark5 Fiesta dash (or got further with this
idea than I have)?
Thanks in advance
Matthew
