Thanks, unfortunately it's not my MINI, although I am considering it for my new MCS. I am stuck between a brilliant red (Porsche), classy tan (BMW) or terracotta orange (Alfa Romeo) on an Astro Black / White Roof MCS.

Cheers

Porsche's Guards Red would look the nicest on your Black MCS... That or the red in the Ferrari's (rosso corsa)... But IMO it's nicest as an insert (just like the factory 2-tone is) on the MINI's... Good Luck!

Here's mine.
Since I am about to hit 100,000kms, I decided refresh my interior a bit with some red over the usual wear spots.

I know this is probably breaking the rules, but I love the interior of this Zeemax mini.....

*drool*





and...to round out the story, here's the exterior:



I'd love fixed back buckets, but in Oz, you legally have to have adjustable/quick release seats if you have a two door car. If you don't then the back-seats have to go. Then, would you believe it, if you remove the back seats, the mini changes classification from a car, to a 'work-van' type thing and the cost of registration (taxes) skyrockets....!

No the dash is Carbon Fiber, matching to what JCW sells for the scoop and boot handle. Yes, its very red. Didnt like it at first but it grows on you.

(Click for big pics)

First Headliner ever customized in a mini


Marblized Dash w/air brushing



Flame away as I know most will hate the dash but it was ours and it won a few awards including the Best of Show Cooper at Mini North Scottsdale in 2004.

That headliner is awesome. Is that upholstered? I've always wanted some sort of solid/non cloth headliner. Leather or some solid material would be nice.

The dash, whatever floats your boat. Mine is all chrome, people dont like that either. But 2 thumbs up to you for originality.

It is the original headliner with some type of Foam to make the graphic then covered in Ultra Leather.

Our interior guy did it in a couple days for us. Hardest part was getting the headliner in and out of the car
