It’s basically L-shaped steel welded in various places inside the front of the mini, nuts welded to these and MDF bolted on with some nice stainless allen bolts
The top section has a small push button for the hazard lights and the two heater vents for the demisting. It’s getting covered in black faux suede
The main part has been carbon fibre vinyl wrapped, and has an 8” touch screen entertainment/satnav, a 5” auxiliary screen with all engine bits on and a small digital speedometer/odometer thing.
5 warning lights (2 indicator, headlights, mainbeam and brake fluid low warning)
3 usb charging ports which also function as usb otg/host ports for the main screen allowing you to plug things in like game controllers, usb pens, keyboards etc
It has an external gps antenna which will be mounted under my fibreglass bonnet
I’ve wired the orange halo button above the usb’s into the tablet to turn the screen on and off
The glove box has no handle, you just press the bottom of it and it flips open :)
The lower part has also been carbon wrapped and has 10 mini toggle switches on it and a red halo button
The sides to this bit will also be wrapped in faux suede
Inside this sits the heater blower (from a Peugeot 106 (perfect fit!!)) and a heater matrix from a mini heater
Air is directed up to the windscreen vents and down to the driver and passenger foot wells, and can either be hot or cold
I just need to wrap the suede bits, make the fuel gauge hole slightly larger and fit it, fit he hazard switch and tidy up the vinyl in the corners of the screens :)
Time for pictures……
