Possibly in the wrong section but...


I hate my interior. Mayfair grey 90's rubbish :\

I know what I'm after - centre speedo, classic bucket seats, wooden steering wheel and everything else plain black.

Whats the best way to keep costs down to achieve this and on a budget? Anyone have any ideas? Got alot of out goings at the moment so I dont have a huge amount of disposable cash but the interior just lets the whole car down

I've sourced cheap seats I want but I was wondering what I could crack on with thats cheap to keep me happy :)

Cheers.

Keep a close eye on eBay, Good stuff often comes up on there for half the price of what they are in the shops.
Also try messaging the seller asking if he will end the auction early for the right price, This will stop you from having to bid with others in the same position.

well you could buy some vinyl or faux suede to cover your dash/door cards & etc and if you wanted do your headlining. I made my brothers headlining in alcantara as i have a degree in fashion so i am pretty handy behind a sewing machine :)

What you want is loads of cheap black leather vinyl off eBay! ;)

I took off my doorcards, stripped the old fabric off and recovered it with black leather look vinyl and they came out a treat

Weren't that expensive either :)

You got a picture of what you achieved? :)

The market nearby has an excellent carpet stand - been using them for years. Was going to buy some black short pile office carpet and refit into the mini using the old carpet as templates.

Would love to see your cards so I can get an idea :)
