Default Dash centre panel

Hey guys, what's the black panel holding the radio/switches etc called.

A mate needs one so I'll have a ring around for him.

Escutcheon panel perhaps? In the AU1 it's commonly known as "that POS!"

Centre Finish Panel (CFP)

I priced one up a couple of years ago when I wanted to replace mine (Had holes in the dash from a CB radio). I thikn they are about $150 from Ford Spares - Find a wrecker.

Hi ronwest,

I was just wondering If you know how to remove the black panel that holds the Switches etc. as I have to replace the switch knobs on my car.
