Trim Help / Advice Needed

tonyt · 1st June 2007, 18:20

I have a badly scratched curved perspex dash, Honda will only replace like with like and I want to fit the Type R dash as others have. My dealer will NOT confirm it will fit but will order one for me but will NOT fit it!

( I am totally useless at any sort of DIY!)

I have a Syrius Indago Sat Nav and a hard wire lead. My dealer will NOT fit the lead for me.

Neither will Halfords as I want the plug that goes into the Syrius to come out of the silver flapped box in front of the gear knob so I can hide the wire when I take the sat nav out of the car.

I AM NOT HAPPY WITH MY STEALER!!!!

Does anyone know of a dealer in the S.W. who could help? Does anyone out there have any helpful suggestions or know someone who could help for a few beers??? I wish Potsy lived in Cornwall!!!
Look forward to hearing from you.

Tony,

The perspex dash is really easy to replace yourself, see Pottsy's guide here
Go on give it ago!

As for the hard wired lead, if you are ever in the London area, I'd be happy to do it for you. It would only take me 45 mins to do. (I'll even make you a cuppa, if you bring plenty of biscuits!)

Tony, you could, if you wish, bring it round my place and you wouldn't even need the biscuits!
