AgtX80 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I swapped my wood effect dash out & the panel where the folding mirror switch might go doesnt have a hole for it. The panels are basically the black dash trim with carbon fibre stuck on top. How do i make a hole to fit the mirror switch without it looking rubbish? Also need to put my rear fog switch in too. Anyone got advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Lots and lots of masking tape to help minimize the cutting damage on the sides. TAKE YOUR TIME is also the key thing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraShaun Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Maybe something like this- the right size though http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bosch-64mm-Cobalt-Holesaw-Power-Change-Drill-Hole-Saw_W0QQitemZ150232044639QQihZ005QQcategoryZ121892QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgtX80 Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 I think the fog lamp switch has a lip on it anyway so doesnt need to be so neat. The reverse of the panel has 3 switch housings which will be a good guide to go by. Suppose starting in the middle & working my way out would be best.

Anyone got advice? My car has a similar dash covering but mines in Chrome effect. Who ever put my fog light switch in cut a hole in the trim and then used off cuts from the original sheet of chrome effect (im guessing that it was one of those that is pre cut and pops out from larger sheet of the same material). The offcuts were then stuck around the fog light switch to create a rim around it. It doesnt look perfect, but does the job and i dont have much choice since it was done when i bought it.
