That looks like the start of a slippery road. Next it'll be an ICE install that means the back seats come out to be replaced with speakers the size of jodrell bank satelite dishes, followed by sticking bits of pink tafetta to every available internal surface and finished off with a shopping list down each door and some ridiculous tea tray stuck to the boot!

You have been warned!

if you're not using the airbag I think you could use fibreglass to smooth everything

You bloody would do if he polled up on your doorstep with his car and a tin of resin... that'd teach you for opening your mouth!

I think that if it was fitted into the dash more (a bit like Brians pic) it would look a lot better. One other thing though, can it be removed so that some tea leaf doesn't just smash the window & steal it, or is it like that all the time ?

- Nice job on that merc Brian, it looks it was meant to be there from the factory

thanks I'm planing on doing something similar to the merc on my coupe...when I get the tim€€€ I'll let you all know how it ends

I was planying, if everything went smooth, to do this on a "ship it to me and I'll ship it back done to you" basis if anyone would be interested
