He Adrian, I've got a spare piece of perspex left over from when I put my sierra instrument cluster into the dash. I'll dig it out and make sure its not marked.

Congratulations Adrian. Your car looks very nice.
I really like the aluminium bodywork where it is possible , which comforts me in my idea to do the same on my car.
And only two years for this result I'm very impressed (and a bit jealous too )
Very good job!
