Upgrading early V8 Vantage Dash to 2009 facelift

Hi all,

Loving my new-to-me 2008 V8 Vantage Roadster, but one thing that would make me love it a smidge more is the later dashboard.

Is it possible to swap the dash panel from a later car into a pre-facelift dash? I've searched and searched, but have yet to come up with the answer (or even the question being asked).

Thanks!

Current Dash:


Desired dash:

I looked into this briefly, having made quite a few other modifications and updates to my car, but from what I could gather it would be a huge amount of work, different wiring and then needing the CEM reprogramming so it's not an easy job AFAIK, but I'd love to hear if someone has done it.

That was my assumption, good to have some further indications that it’s no worth it.

The previous owner of my car had the dash refinished in carbon fibre and it looks great, so can’t complain

This was asked of Aston Installations and the answer was that they could not do it.
