I thought I already made this thread but I guess I forgot to click 'submit new thread' button. Anyway.

A little closer

Had a little fun with some EL wire

That looks great. The dash is very Audi'ish and thats not a bad thing

Nicely done. Everything looks great.

The gauges need a chrome/aluminium ring to top it off

Thanks!

I have maybe a foot of wire left, what should I do with it?

It was pretty easy. Some have used oven to heat up the glue. I tried the oven first but after melting part of one blinker, I chose a 300C/500C heat gun instead. As the paint I used regular rattle can gloss black. I don't have any pics of doing the headlights but since I'm going to replace the blinker that got messed up sometime soon, I can take pics of that.
