that looks good rob, but instead of painting it, why not cover it with some material!

v. nice... neat job there :D

one question though.. does it get in the way of your "clutch" foot?

looks very close from here, and with my trotters looks like it would. :erm:

nah ive got a console for the other mini which i bought from custom consoles so i just drew around that so i had something as a guide. would be too wide if i covered it in material as its 8mm mdf + my dad does spraying for a living so should be able to get a good finish on it

ive got bout 10mm from clutch pedal but ya get used to it pretty quickly.

the heater does blow onto the Hu but i always have it directed up into the windscreen outlets and ask any of my passengers it gets plenty hot enough with just them open.
