Well does your dash look like that minus the gauges?
Or do you have a top pocket and a cup holder?

the problem is that my fan speed is adjusted by a slide bar rather than the ****. i was wondering if they are interchangeable. are the plugs in the back the same or do i need to do a lot of modifying to get it to fit?

Oh right, you have the later dash then, like this:



Not tried it, but it would be a fair bit of work.

Oh right. Thought there was only two styles.

the diff between mine and the top one is the slide fan adjustment rather than the ****, i was just wondering if it is easy enough to change it over to the **** or is it a mission.

the style above is the JDM style where as the UK ones mostly came with the slide bar rather than the **** adjustment

I personally don't think it would work, as I looked into getting a double din import fascia for mine. I'm pretty sure the back of my controls are manual ones. So when I up the fans speed or change the fan position, there is a lever behind the control actually doing something. And from what I found out, the import ones were in a different position, so looked like the whole settings were controlled electronically. If you know what I mean.

could always cut the top off the new gauge holder bit and make it fit onto mine with fibreglass and then paint it

where there is a will there is a way haha

I can get the heater controls no bother, do they use the same plugs etc at the back?

ok now fitted and looking lovely.

just needed to swap the slide controls for the dial type and new cables.
not the easiest job but works well
