I have posted this on another site. I see some members from that site here. To them, please accept the double posting. I note other members that have not seen this so it may be of some use or interest to them.

I grew up in the era of chrome. I like chrome. My TD has some, but there were some aftermarket accessories that add additional "Bling".
I have an engine turned SS dash. These were in the Moss Catalog of the time. I have a 1967 copy that shows them. Many prewar MG roadsters of the time had them from the factory.
I never really liked the fabric covered dash. I always considered it an economy item.
I also have matching engine turned SS door threshold plates.

And of course I have A Moto-Lite steering wheel

It was suggested that I needed to do something with the standard wheel center. Looking on the Net I found some interesting examples, however mine is mostly my design. I started with a 6" diameter block of Aluminum, and kept removing metal until it looked right. The MG center is a turned down wheel cover medallion. The center is a light press fit augmented by some locktite.
Of course I just had to have a matching shift knob.
Again the medallion is from a wheel cover. The ball is from McMaster-Carr.

Do you think I have enough Bling now?

Well done! I really like that turned dash -- the glare may be wicked but boy does it look nice.
 
shiny! I like. In terms of too much? - your car your choice. :grin:
