Yes, I'm very pleased with the dash. I know what you mean about the bonding paste vs filler. I've used a nice thick layer of it to stick the new dash on top of the original and it feels rock solid. The filler is only going in to blend the step between the edge of the dash and the inside of the screen frame so it shouldn't crack... I'll also be putting a layer of fibreglass matting inside the dash over the fillet piece I've added to widen the dash. This is to add strength as at the moment it's only held together with a thin layer of bonding paste at the butt joints. I know that isn't strong enough as I dropped the dash while I was fitting it and those joins all failed and had to be redone.
I'm quite pleased with my luggage bay, but you're right Dave, there is loads of room behind the seats for squashy bags too. I'm looking forward to taking it touring.
