My dash is a hybrid of a GTE digital dash and a Calibra dash housing. The Calibra dash is a more Corsa friendly shape, making it a lot easier to fit. Heres how it looks out of the car...




Dont mean to be a twat but did this come from a calibra or was it modified from an astra digi dash + a calibra surround?

I had this idea in like june or sumat :lol:

Tried it out mate and the dash dont fit inthe corsa c dial space all that well. There isnt really enought room for it an that.

in the end was just a tota pain in the arse that wasn really gonna go away, so scrapped it.

I guess that took a lot of work and it way beyond my capabilities! lol everything on the corsa c is electronic and there is about 11 wires going into the dials. I keep tryin the scrappies to get hold of 1 but no luck as yet.
I will be messaging u when i hit a problem! lol
Thanks

Two Neils, this is gonna get confusing.

Neilrocks, good luck with the car mate, I know you've had a few probs lately.

Neiliosxi, I know what you mean about cutting wires. I would guess the Corsa C dials are all electronic which would make things easier. You could adapt the digital dash wiring and connect it all to a plug to plug into your Corsas loom.
Heres a rear pic of mine, its all re wired so it drops straight into the Corsa, its totally plug and play, not a single wire to cut ;)

I know its sexy as, are the warning lights at the bottom the originals off your corsa? I want the dash for corsa c but the warning lights are built in and probably wouldnt work on new shape. Worth a try if i can get 1 cheap enuf!

The Mrs. wants me to take my digital dash out and put the regular dials back in, its basically her car and she don't like the digital one. I've just done the mfd to match the dash too. I mean, how can she not like this? :(
