Was that an option for the SPA dash?

Aha, I have the ambidextrous option too!

You can probably get a replacement dash for the spa dash (same profile & shape) direct from Ariel for not too much money for the standard fibre glass version - I picked one up myself a while ago....

[mention]Jerry[/mention] - it does look pretty odd with no panel covering it and especially worrying for unfamiliar passengers, looks like a vital part of the car belongs in the gap!!

I’m sure those parts could be redesigned to allow them to be bolted to the frame and thus removable when not required!

A triangular piece of carbon fibre sheet with a hole cut out of the bottom corner would be cheapest option IMO.
Atom 4, Clio v6, & some other cars obviously.

Actually not a bad idea - may also look better than another dash surround missing a steering wheel with loads of the switch holes in it! ;-)

I always thought the factory missed a trick by not offering some sort of cover for the unused steering column mount. Maybe it could even have some sort of glovebox/storage option.

Anybody got a 3D printer..?
