Hi guys

Does anyone know how to get cracks ina dashboard repaired? I have heard of someone/something called 'the plastic surgeon', but can't seem to find any reference to it on the net. Any help, thanks?

Regards
Alex.

There's only one proper cure for a cracked dash, and that is to remove it and replace it with one of the plenty of uncracked ones around.
Changing an E30 dash is a surprisingly simple job.

I have the same problem on my Cab and it's on my never-ending list of jobs to do.

Found an excellent article on how to do it in the Wiki pages of this site.
