I'm after ideas as to what to cover my dash in?
Black wallpaper is my best idea at the mo...its got newspaper clips on it right now...
Any cheap ideas to make it look less naff?

wow thanks for all the comments!
Nice ideas so I've just gone to b&m and got a "sample" length of black patterned wallpaper for nowt
Some wallpaper paste and lots of trimming and now it's drying off in the sun!!!
I'll do a final trim after work tomorow and whack up some piccies to see what you all think!

I hope your mini is water tight otherwise your wallpaper will peel or go mouldy pmsl. You could always tile it with mosaic tiles with red grout?

lol it does fine in a storm so no worries, the only way water gets in is if someone jets a bit too close with a jet washer and even then its only a teensy lil bit on the drivers door seal at the bottom still might get a new seal though as its not so easy to close the door!

[novakor]

the second pic shows the pesky gap at the bottom

New door seals were one of the first jobs I did on my mini when I got it as it leaked like a sieve when it rained lol. It still leaks but not as bad...

personally i would go for the centre speedo too, lose the clear indicators, black group 2 arches with the chrome finishing trim, 5x10" wheels, S brake conversion and lower the rear about 1 1/2". give the car a full valet and polish it to death.
