Hi guys,

I have a 1995 mini copper with a piano black Wood and picket dash but want a walnut dash instead. Do mpi dash's fit SPI models ? or how easily can they be adjusted to fit? I know the mpi has extra switches but I can sort that out with filler then veneer over the top:)

Yeah, all dash boards that fit underneath the padded dash top are the same size.

As for filling / covering some food for thought. The fan switch in a metro fits in the same hole as the MPI headlight adjuster. That and a resistor for a 3 speed fan like an old escort (and some basic wiring) could make your heater three speed and you wouldn't have to go to all that hassle.

Cheers, never thought of that !! That sounds a lot better idea:)
