I generally prefer an open dash to one with a covering, but that's really nice. If I ever installed one, this is the way I'd go. Very nice.

Ooooh you have door cappings in the same style?! I'd love to see pics of them, actually I quite like the look of most of your interior What seats have you got?

Pictures of the door cappings (car is in the garage so the pics are a bit dark)




and for comparison the original ones



The seats are the standard Rover Mpi seats in cream leather with black piping

Thanks very much siniter The charcoal door cappings look so much better than the original in my opinion I'm definitely tempted to get them as well as the dash for when I finally get round to getting my interior sorted that is!!

I thought those were the standard rover mpi ones, absolutely love them I want to find me some to put in to Freddie

thanks again

Where can one obtain those door toppers?? I like them MUCH better than my dented, battered chrome trim. I'd want basic black please...

SINISTER: in your first photo, are those door bins screwed to the door cards, or to something more substantial? I have 2 bins just like those on-order (the standard Rover ones it looks like) but have not yet received them, so I'm unclear about how they attach.

The door cappings came from Minisport, as did the dash.
From memory the door bins screw through the door card and into the door frame. I think, and i'm guessing now so don't take this as gospel as i can't say for certain without taking a door card off and having a look, that there are some plastic bushes that push into holes in the door frame and the screw fixes into these.

Did the dash fit with no problems?

No , no problems at all. Comes with 3 "C" section brackets that slot behind the upper and lower dash rails and securing nuts and washers. Take out your existing dash (if fitted) screw in the instrument panel, fit any auxillery gauges and stereo, connect up any wiring and secure the dash to the car. Easy really.
Bear in mind though, if fitting this to a late model mini there are no cut outs in the dash for the headlamp adjustment switch (mines cable tied up behind the dash but accessible from underneath by the steering column). I also had to drill a hole for the alarm/immobiliser LED.

Thats really helpful.

And as for the dash its looks great in the pics. I have a black interior and I think it might finish it off very nice. Im considering CF too atm.
