Nice Mini, good job you've done there. Agree on the light clusters, the original ones look much nicer :-)

Great thread. How hard was it to change the dash? Looking to change the dash in Poppy , the only difference being she has 3 clocks.

I love my Ritz and have recently changed my mind and want to keep it mostly original. I changed the lights to clear lenses but have now decided to go back to the original! I got that light unit and seal for £8 brand new lucas what a bargain! :D
