Hey Guys,

Thought I'd better make a topic showing what I did to mount my DVD H/U.

This is my second effort, and my previous effort, plus the rest of the install is here:

INSTALL - DVD HU

INSTALL - Sub, Amp, 360

So I started off with a spare shifter surround plate.

From there I used some balsa wood to produce a shape that was close to what I needed, I then hot glued the balsa to the shifter surround. This gave a strong enough platform and shape to start from.

I then sanded and shaped it a little better now that it was all one piece - with the help of paint between sands to get an understanding of how I was progressing.

I drilled some holes through the plate to help the resin 'attach', I then started to lay glass and resin, the attached pic is after one layer.

About 6 layers later I added some filler which I sanded to give me the desired shape - again I put a light spray of paint between sandings to give me an idea of lines and progress.

I then cut out the section to mount the DVD Player and gave it a spray, the colour isn't the best match but its pretty good straight from a can.

dude you should make more of these and sell them its a great idea

I've been asked quite a few times, I'd love to but I've got a 8 month old and there isn't enough time in the day unfortunately :(

There was a period of about 4 months where the fascia you see here had nothing done to it!

One day I'll get some time back - I hope - then the car can get some more attention again.
