Difficult, pointless, impossible?
 

I quite fancy swapping my mkI ZS dash for a mkII item, has anyone done this before? Does it split in two? Is the lower half the same? Are the airbags different?

So many questions!

I'm pretty sure ZSTurbo has done the very same to his.

Wilko66 has a mk2(ish) dash in his car ;)

Interesting. I'm keen to swap my seats as one of my Monacos has a nasty hole in the bolster so I'd like something a bit newer, similar to the ones in the 'Stolen recovered 180' thread. Whats the quality if the MkII dash like compared to the MkI? I ask because I had a 2004 Rover 25 (facelifted) as a courtesy car on Monday and the quality of that was nothing short of awful. There was a complete MkII dash on eBay a little while ago so I assume they're available now and again.

It isn't great Ads, it is made of rock hard plastic where I believe the MK1 is 'soft touch' however the MK2 looks a lot more modern and how often do you feel your dash?!

I like the Mk2 dash, and it's solid enough

I think it looks much better than the 20 year old mk1 dash.

It can be done, but I remember from another thread that it is a fairly tricky conversion since the mk2 ZS uses all BMW switch gear

But my centre console will stay the same won't it?

It can do yes...

I just gave Smokey's old dash bits a sand down a respray today, so I might have a spare mk2 dash available soon....... ;)

From what I can see, you need take the entire center console out to attatch the main dash part to it (screws in from behind). Dont think it will be a huge job though - I hope! Might have a bash tomorrow.

You have a PM :thumbsup:
