Knew it wouldent be long before i needed info :-/

Anybody know the for sure if i can fit the wood effect center dash section in place of my plastic one.
I dont have climate control fitted,it just has the two heat controls for o/s and n/s and blower speed and air direction knob,4 knobs in all.

The only ones i have seen for sale seem to have the bigger holes for the climate controls,did they ever fit them with normal heaters?

only on the very early elites !

but you modify the climate wood trim to fit the dial type have done it myself !! takes a bit of chopping and glueing but worth it in the end !

I've got the wood-effect dash to fit into my car, and will be attempting to swap it in there in the not so distant future.

ive done it as well, i got a spare black plastic one & chopped each control outer out in sections with black plastic still on it, makes it easier to work with, then i carefully cut through the welded plastic in one place & peeled it off but it takes some doing, the wood bit i carefully filed down the lip on the back until it was flush on the back, stuck control outers in with epoxy putty, [a little  bit at first to make sure mounting holes lined up] then put it all the way around, you will have to block up the grille bit from the back [black plastic does it] otherwise youll have light shining through, the air circulation button wont fit so cut the lug off the back of it & it goes in, also you have to carefully trim the plastic slides on the back so the wiring plugs will slide in, i think ive covered it all apart from having patience of a saint & hide the swear jar ,,,,best of luck

Is your spare plastic one a non-climate type, with the rotary control holes? I'm after a replacement for mine which has the old soft-finish peeling syndrome!
