That is absolutely stunning trim. Agree a 380 mm Petri would work well.
I used quilted maple. I still love the figure, but the Nardi wheel looks wrong. Also, the old CSI cloth interior must go.

Love this look http://www.archtop.com/ac_51dlxrg.html - more a pattern than directional grain look.

Andrew,
Very nice. I'm sure it will 'wear well' with the eyes as you drive the car for many years.

Thank you.
Awesome Andrew, can't beat the original finish IMHO.

Just an FYI for you guys with the wood steering wheels.
They can be stripped and bleached and then the color can be changed to better match your dashes.
I plan on doing that to mine.

My e9 has Carpathian elm burl.
Matches the Nardi very well in color and finish.
My computer is down due to remodel of my home/office/kitchen.(working on since Nov), but getting very close.
One man bands move slowly!
Do a search of my posts and the pics will show.
I love the color and grains

Did a search for steve in reno carpathian, unfortunately the pics are no longer linked to the thread.
Do you believe me if I tell you that I don't know what wood is it? I just brought the old rotten dashboard to my carpenter telling him I wanted the same veining but in a paler color. Then he made it. I have to take better photos of it.

Got this to work:
Steve you're a moan after my heart; but I think you already know that!
I ordered this car around the wood. The wood is also elm (cluster) it doesn't have as tight of a burr grouping as yours. It is one of my favorite veneers.
