MantaMad Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Excellent fit - its like the dash was made for the Manta - will your gear lever be OK when the stereo is back in? David OMOC Member 420 http://www.mantamad.fsnet.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 purely for practical reasons i have install plans that i could not do with the manta dash as wellas the stereo fit i didnt like with it stuck out like that and that dash gives me more slots for my stereo and screen and glovebox to house me xbox u see Every day is a track day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Just a thought about your gearstick problem. I owned a VW Scirocco for a while and the gearstick was close to the dash, but it was bent at about a 20 degree angle away from the dash. The reason im suggesting this is you may still hit your knuckles on the dash, or have trouble reaching to select 1st, 3rd & 5th if you cut it down.

opel2000 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Sorry DiZcO simply did not have time to remove the dash before the car went. I may hasve one or even 2 of these knocking around though I'll have a look, but may have recently dumped them, I do remember thinking I ought to hang on to the one which had "16V Turbo" on it. http://www.customsolutions.me.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 quote:? id="quote">id="quote"> sorry most people remove wieght for trackdays but actually the dash proberbly light enough to of set the extra for playstation and stereo ANY ONE GOT A CHIN SPOILER FOR A B SERIES previously hvx439t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
