As some of you may know.. i bought Luke ( a mod on here)'s old cinq.. The one with the huge hole in the dash which was originally going to house a screen of come sort...
Well, after evaluating my options and looking to the future, i decided to revert the dash back to standard...
One word of advice for ANYONE thats going to do this... DONT!
Serin (or Pete to those who know him).. helped me along this arduous journey.. and by god is it the most frustrating job in the world.. ( he also has all the pics we took which he SHOULD add to this thread)..
The wiring loom is stupid and big.. the heating pipes are big and annoying.. the clips are tough and bent.. the dam dash is too big for the fckin car.. and all in all.. i nearly killed myself and would have taken Pete with me were it not for the constant cold drinks and endless supply of ciggarets made available by my overlooking Partner, Clare..
Anyway.. to cut a 7 hour portion of sheer frustration and exhausting work short.. Its done!! lol..
And the new dash is nicely sprayed Black to match with the bumblebee effect of yellow and black the cinq already had as standard...
Just to take The gastly Punto center console out now and find a standard one of those and the cars back to its original glory...
oh and Luke.. remember those fog lights that had no wires.. Dam well wired them in too!! and that aint all that fun... ty Pete again for his Help through all of this! (<--- pic to go with that bit too!)
And so... I put it too you fellow centorians.. Which is better??
A clean, powerful standard cinq or a cinq that looks like its just driven through Halfords warehouse..??
