Got a little more work to do with triple gauge facia ie the colour want to try and get the same grey as the rest as for the stereo they are temps just a bit of wood covered in insulation tape but will be replacing them with some angled painted metal either attached to stereo or as they are.

sorry to be critical mate, but the angle is wrong on the gauges, the angle doesnt line up on the right side of the wood bit, to the dash

it looks patchy at best , looks wooden !! due to the shape, thickness... you need some shape to it or it stands out bad ?

and next time you work on the car, cover the dashboard on the sides, your scratching the hell out of it from the metal cage on the radio..lol

try "CAST IRON" colour paint it looks nice and has a decent texture, looks kinda like titanium when painted on the dash over a silver base coat

Thanks for your comments sapphiregraphics, the gauges are set to the same angle as stereo and heater controls the facia is made out of mdf used a black marker pen to colour it, i agree it needs more work to get it to look right but they were rather difficult to fit in, rather tight no tolerance. I had to move the stereo to its lowest possible point then drop the heater controls down a bit to squeeze the gauges in as i wanted to use the origanal gtt ones fitted as standard,might even get something made up in plastic once the mdf looks right using them as a template.
