Never posted mine all fitted up! So a rundown of what it has....
Somerford Minis real carbon dash (not carbon vinyl which is the work of the devil)
MPi magnolia gauges (On the lookout for John cooper versions but they get mega coin on eBay sadly)
Smiths 52mm magnolia gauges (clock, voltmeter and oil pressure)
10cm Pioneer component speakers (mounted behind the vent holes)
Chrome rings in the vent holes (same as for main gauges)
Speaker grille mesh cut down to fit vent holes and resprayed satin black rather than gloss for a classier, subtle look
Alpine headunit with rear connection for iPod/iPhone playback/charging.
All in all about £500 in this dash now I add it all up.... But I think its more than worth it But I would, wouldn't I?
Blue tape was to protect it on installation :)

Nope, speedo cable disconnected itself before MOT time and decided to leave it until winter to sort. Also try not to quote ALL the photos

Yup got rid of the horrible wing mounted mess, smoothed off the hole and fitted this instead. Gets a much better reception too.

...theres a thread on here which shows you how to do it....its really easy.....just done mine and literally you can do it in a couple of hours all you need is a few connectors.
I got an old wiring dash plug and socket and used that. the thread is on here under the heading.......
