   surely you should do both rather than one? wouldnt that end up fucking up the other mounts?

    i took my old s1 dash out the rallye i had and put it in my saxo to allow the cage to fit without cutting, but it soon came out. left me with ziptied clocks on the steering column
    
    i have a few big sheets of carbon fibre in the garage which im using for door cards and this dash project
