Still, it's cheaper than buying a Spec C. :lol1:

The one I bought for my Newage was £320 I think, that was 3-4 years ago tho ;)

Apart from the engine, the vent was my favourite mod :)

M2RTXhawkeye 22 June 2012 11:45 AM

This is another mod on my list tommy. Do they come pre painted or did you have to get it done?

lol this is true, i wish i had just bought new straight away rather than spending 9 months looking for a second hand one though.
quite surprised how heavy the flap is considering its a spec c only part, i assumed it would be plastic but it feels like steel.

Nice mod. The metal bracket weighs the most. Hope you've got a steady hand for the cutting though:thumb:

My Spec C is one of the 2004 models and has the older style centre console and I don't want to convert it to the later type as I have the basic heater controls. As nobody has done this conversion before with this style of heater controls I don't want to get half way through and then find it's impossible to get done. :brickwall

I would like the later centre console as my own was covered over by either the Japanese owner or the first UK owner who stuck on some carbon fibre tat to mask all the scratches / marks on the dash. :(

If I could find someone who had done this conversion on the earlier Spec C then I would gladly rip out all the scratched panels and fit the later style. :wonder:

By all my research on the matter no it isn't, perhaps if the original and new vehicles both had climate control but my Spec C just has the basic AC controls.

Like I said if someone has done it then great (and there is a guide on how to rewire the heater controls as my are different to the standard Blobeye) and I will be on the case and sourcing parts straight away to get rid of the scratched panels that I have. :)

if the heater controls are electronic they are a straight swap, its the controls with the slidey bit at the bottom you cant swap.

this one is a straight swap

Great mod mate, possibly the favourite one i did to my Classic.

Have you found anywhere to fit it? There are a few guys on here who have done a couple now. (Anger/Frayz)
