I think I'd describe the round ones as 'classic' or 'retro' rather than old fashioned!
They're certainly more in keeping with the roadster than 'orrible plasticky 80's clusters!

Agreed( especially since I am collecting for my post IVA dash)
I think Adrians is the biz (and I am going to make something similar)however the digi dash looks ace too .It shows the adaptability of the roadster design and the truth of the saying "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

Agreed AyJay, the roadster is so versatile - they both look great.

I love the Digidash on mine, its placed in the dash right behind the wheel. It's always in your vision while you're driving and does exactly what you need it to do.

Thats about right, I always thought that the roadster would look equally as well with steel wheels and hub caps as it would with racing alloys but you have to follow the old world theme through the rest of the build. Classic dash, ali bonnet with leather straps etc.

Why do these threads start on one subject and end on something totally different. WTF has this got to do with the original post of a car for sale
