dude you'll have to wait until after X-mas, when I get my new camera. Then you'll be able to see one of the most tasteful int. of all... mine.
Pretty neat, charcol black leather seats, with red stitching, etc...

Just wait you guys!

Xanthus - (not to be naive) those are GREAT door sills on the new mini. Where did you get those checkerboard sills I LOVE THEM?

The clasic mini interior is awesome too - I am fond of checkerboards....

We had an extra one from one of the Roadrunners, so i drilled out the threads and retapped them to 12MM. i had to retap the threads on the shifter shaft too, but it was worth it. i think i'm the only MINI with a hurst ****!

The threads are brass, so it goes pretty quickly.

I was gonna try to move mt CB under the drivers side in the parcel shelf, but i already drilled holes for my Mine mount on one of the center pillars.

Oh, wow, that looks amazing. I'd kill for an alcantara dash. I actually looked at trying to do this, and apart from the small problem of me never having done anything like this before, there's also the issue that on the 05 forward cars the passenger airbag breaks through the top of the dash. Covering it would seem to be a little dangerious, so that kinda killed that idea. Would love to know if there was a way around it!

Sid I really like the look you got going here. One question is the red stripe you have on the steering wheel just some red tape of did you do something trick like leather or what?

I want to do an orange wheel stripe to match the gauge needles but didn't want it to look like I stuck some tape on the wheel.

i'm pretty sure thats a piece of tape to let him know where the center of the wheels is.
