MG MGA - Chrome trim under dashboard

Could someone be so kind to send or show a picture of a non-vinyl coverved dashboard with the chrome trim uttached underneath?
I have a 1500, but I also have the trim, and was wondering how it looks installed. Thanks

If you decide that you don't want to fit it to your 1500 (which do not have vinyl cover or trim peice on the dash), let me know as I need one for my coupe dash.
Thanks, Peter.

Peter, the roadster trim will not fit the coupe dash.

Neil - because of the curvature at the ends of the coupe dash?
Peter.

Yes, the coupe dash remains flat and curves forward, The roadster curves up. Even if you could successfully straighten/bend the roadster trim I think it would be too short. Maybe you or someone can prove me wrong but it seems too fragile to be reformed easily to the right shape. I have both coupe and roadster trims here and I can measure if you like.
