Just rebuilt a 1275 round nose. Sofar in for over 10 000 Pounds

Motor has everything, disc upgrade, adjustable suspension all round, 10" rims, and sprayed Lamborghini orange with black race stripes.

Now I need;

Recommendations for new dash and centre consol. Want to accomodate clock setup and 7.5" dvd radio. Subwoofer and amps will go in the boot and under back seat.

Replacement for existing clocks, have the centre large clock with water temp and oil gauge. We want a large Mini speedo.

Need complete rubber set for doors, windows, boot etc .

Good quality carpet set in black or Ford blue and roof lining.

Ideas on front seats that still allow access to the rear, but these I'd prefer to get from a breaker locally - expensive to ship from UK

Ideas on body kit and other trim such as mirrors and handles.

Sounds like an awesome Mini you have there!!

For your dash, it sounds like you want something a bit more special than the usual walnut veneer. Have a look on the Custom Consoles and Retro Retrims websites for ideas for your dash. Im sure Custom Consoles could knock you up a console to fit your DVD player in and would make a dash for a centre speedo as well.

For your sounds, either Optimise Automotive or Retro Retrims do very good boot kits for your subs; just check them out, see which you prefer.

Ebay Minispares or Minisport for your clocks; new ones can get very expensive, hence ebay, but it doesnt sound like youre on a particularly tight budget!!

Minispares or Minisport for your rubbers, little fittings, carpets, headlining etc; cant really go wrong with them.

As for postage - Im sure theyll all be happy to post to America or wherever you are - at a cost! Youll just have to pay what you need to pay with that, no choice really.

Zeemax bodykits are the only nice ones imo - except maybe the lamm or rgm ones for a more retro look. Up to you really.

Thanks,

I normally deal with Minispares and use my own couriers - seems I have the right guys.

Custom Consoles and Retro both look like good options.

Any ideas on replacement front seats ? Want to add Recaro type seats but am hoping to pull them from a scrapyard here in South Africa. Something like M3 or two door Nissan or Audi seats. Do youi know hat would fit and still tilt to give rear seat access ?

[Jimmy Hat]

I dont know what replacements you could get other than the later type Mini ones with twin post headrests, which i have a set of and theyre lovely. You could try finding a leather MPI set but not from a scrappy! (ebay?) Recaros from various Ford Cossies fit i think, which would be good, but theres a thread on here with a list of all the seats thatll fit in it (with custom made subframes). Good luck finding any of them in a scrappy though...
