Has this every been done? Me and a few mates were thinking about it last night as one of them has a spare C dash and I was wondering if it is infact possible? Would take abit of work but I think it would make inside a B nicer to be.....

The inside of a b is nicer than a c IMO as long as it's the black dash

that's personal opinion though?
I think a corsa C is slightly wider so doubt it would fit somehow.

Can be done but looks worse than a B dash IMO.

IIRC he has the speedo in the boot with a camera pointing at it so that when he drives the clocks show on the radio screen.

Ive got a dash same as Custom_corsas for sale in parts offered. think ive seen about 5 in total including mine in the uk.

+ seen a corsa c dashboard fitted to a corsa b, needs to be chopped pretty much though the middle of the glove box area, easier to refabricate that area than any other without too much custom work.

Imo the Corsa C dash is far, far superior to the B in aesthetics and quality. Anyway, if you're not afraid to hack it up a bit then get it in
