What material is the dashboard made of?

Hi TooFPaste39,
The Dashboards are made out of MDF and are finished with various laminate finishes.
If you have any other questions let me know.
kind Regards,

Hi Chris, i currently already have a walnut bur dash in, i dont know if you can help but where the heater vents are there is obviously a circle piece cut out at each end of the car. I am looking for some chrome trim to place into these holes as they dont fit too flush with the heater vents do you sell anything to fix this problem?

Hi nile-jackson,

I dont sell anything that you can use for this sorry, but i think mini-spares or someone will sell something your after.
I can always make you a dashboard that will fit your holes exactly!

how do you get the colour of the dash red? the bits either side of the walnut as pictured above?

The Red is a Matt Red Laminate. I have more pictures of these if you want me to PM them to you?

Sorry for the late reply. If you have any more questions feel free to PM me.


Kind Regards,

Hey chris thanks for the anwser. I currently have just bought my mini so the pocket is a little empy BUT

I get paid in two weeks. I know you made the dashboards do you make the center consoles? IF you do do you do the same effects etc?

The matt laminate looks very cool. Is it easy to get hold of?

And if you were to make a dash how would you make it accomadate the vents. As it stands at the moment i already have a walnut dash installed but the two air vents dont sit properly. there is a few mill clearance between them and the vents.

Hi Nile,
Im currently working on the centre console. They will have the same laminates applied yes.
The problem you are getting with the air vents...... are you fitting them correctly? what i mean is are the air vents sticking through the dashboard and are you fitting the plastic ring on the outside of the dashboard. can you send me a picture? maybe i can help you out.
Yeh I have quite a bit of matt red in stock.
PM me.

Hi Chris,

Got a problem with my MPI dash. The brackets are pants and it rattles about loads, do you make replacements for the brackets?

Thanks in advance

No I believe there are 3 brackets at the bottob of the dash bolted onto the lower dash rail, then one plastic zigzag type bracket at the top! Its a pretty cr*p design really.

Very odd!
Have you got any pictures of it? to be honest i would just take those brackets off and use the type pictured above. alot less hassle. and you can tighten up to your heart content!

Do you have to tighten them up though the glove compartment and air vents? Its just that my glove box is contained if you understand what I mean?!? I'll try and get some pic of the brackets! Although I think they would be pretty pants!

Yes it is easier to tighten them up through the glove box and air vents but it can be done by reaching underneath the bottom rail and sticking your hand through. A little bit tricky but once its on, its on!
Yeh PM them to me if you like.

Hello,

I have had an engine conversion done, and in doing so I have had to use the Honda dials, this has made my interior look shabby as the dials don't fit properly!

Are you able to make custom dashes to suit??

I would be able to get pictures tomorrow to show you!
