Following my post RE: center dash top box http://www.outlawjapclub.co.uk/forum/sho...php?t=9750
the guy who sold it to me couldnt find the missing part that filled the hole in the front, and it looked fecking awful fitted.

So today i set about making my own.

First thing i did was make a template using blue low tack masking tape, which i transferred to a plastic box i had kicking about the garage and cut it out.

Hole where part is missing

Cut out

I then covered it with sticky backed felt,suede in black

[Image: 406355_10150453099951712_575506711_87610...4097_n.jpg]

I cut the insert about 2mm smaller than the hole as to make it a snug fit with the felt/suede covering on.

Finished item!

Gave it a run over with the low tack tape to remove bits, and it fits lit a good'n.:thumbup1:

Inside fitted pics tomorrow as its too dark to see atm.

Just need to re-flock the inside and its done!

[Image: 420397_10150488243076712_575506711_88661...7808_n.jpg]

I also bought a set of used fogs off the bay for £10, so thats my next wet weekend project sorted.

Yeah looks like it should be straight forward, ill post pics of the small mod you have to make to get the holders to fit the fog lights.
