Yeah I was thinking that too, Im not gonna make it exaxtly same looking, but quite. At least I'll try. ;) Not sure yet how many gauges I'll fit in. Oil pressure and air/fuel ratio meters would be nice but we'll see.

could you maybe hide it in the grill? or perhaps behind one of the bumper inserts?

what does it do? warm the engine up on a cold day?

Yeah. It pre-warms the engine when it is freezing. :P It is a must have here in Finland at winter time. No need for it now though... 27 Celsius degrees (80.6 in Fahrenheit) at the shadow outside. :P

Panel is almost ready. Looks a bit diffrent than the original though, but it wasn't supposed to look the same. ;) Needs a bit sanding and then I'll paint it and see how it fits. :P
