Of course, that all may change by the time I get around to it... :-D

I have been dreaming along the same lines. Not too long ago, someone posted a picture of a C3 at a car show that had the dash flatter in front of the driver and wrapped around into the center consol so the radio and switches were right at the finger tips, on an angle to the driver.
That's what started me thinking. Now I just need to learn how to form it out of fiberglass.

Errr, not quiet what I had in mind. I'm looking for modern, as in current up to date styling, not futuristic. Or in that case, an 80's approximation of futuristic.
I'm after a look that you might find on a car lot today, not in a B-flick.

I'm sure the base fiberglass dash could be altered to fit a C3. Mark's also does custom work. So with enough money a cutom wrap around could be made.
