To fit a raptor dash or not ?

Hi guys
Need your advice here. I want to add some switches for my winch,
electric fan and work lights along with a volt meter, ammeter,
proper temp gauge and an oil pressure gauge.
So the question is do I buy a raptor dash or is there an
alternative way of fitting the above items that doesn't make it
look like I ram-raided Halfords :eek:

You can put it on top of the dash (I don't like it that way) or
turn it upside down and put it under the top shelf (a little
effort needed to fit it here a bit of cutting/shaping) or go
lower again and put it under the bottom dash.

Very much a personal thing.
Have had them and try to keep them out.
They're well made and make for easy fitting of lots of stuff.
But a multi display system works just as well with less space.
I like an empty cab.

Got a series 3.
I take it that a multi display is just what it sounds like? Any
links to see what they look like?
I was toying with the idea of fitting the switches in my cubby
box so it might tie in nicely.
I'll get some pics today of what I have currently.

(The notch is for reverse)

I have to ask: was the notch for reverse an afterthought!? ::)
It looks good to me. I once built a similar thing under the dash
of my old S3 which had 5 small gauges in. The main difference
was mine was made of MDF and looked awful, whereas yours looks
quite smart.
