Hiya guys and gals.

I've had my mini for a fair few years but haven't done any work on it, until now.
I'm looking to redo the entire interior, but very much DIY.

Does anyone know what the material is that's used for the consoles? Is it leathercloth?
I was planning on using the same material for my dashboard and the section above and below the dash (or is that also commonly referred to as the dash as well? I've never known, and this is definitely my first Car DIY experience haha.)
And would anyone know the best place to purchase this?

All help appreciated.

Thanks!

My husband made me a console using real leather from an old sofa. I suppose you could use leather for the dashboard too.

hi they are well nice,

in terms of brown colour, did you paint them or was it like that when bought?

cheers

the car was already brown inside and the leather for the console just happened to match

I've used leatherette which is just a fake leather, type it in on ebay. It's quite cheap and easy to use.
