Looking good mate.

What Auto Finesse products did you get?

Got some finale, took advantage of their mega deal on drying towels (2 for £9!), a sticker and an air freshener...... that christmas one has got me hooked

Nothing that exciting really, just need this freezing weather to bugger off so I can wash him

Oh, and I've got to swap the number plates back over again..... the legal ones look ****

Looking Good, need to clean mine before nextweek sometime! :)
Regards to the plates, I shoved mine on the passenger seat for the test, with some elastic bands placed next to them... lol

Yeah, I just didn't want to give him any reason to fail it

Vinnie hasn't been cleaned for about 2 weeks.... longest stretch ever

Next on the list is to start saving for new sills, doorsteps and a rear subby! .... that should keep me busy . At least then he will be finished ..... then it'll be the engine

At the same time as the front was being done, I decided to do something about the dash as I was fed up with the crappy walnut style thing that was in, plus it had a chip in the corner by the glovebox exposing the hinge. I painted it Cherry red and that was that..... but the filler sank, and it looked really rubbish.

Sooo after I spent the next few months saving up to buy an MPI 3 clock dash, as I loved the OEM look. I managed to pick one up (I say pick up, it was a steal) off a member on here who was breaking his mini, with the clocks and binnacle. The only problem was, it was delaminating quite badly and needed something doing to it.
(It looked a bit like this)



So because I was on a budget, I decided to carbon wrap it (couldn't afford to skin it ). I settled on metallic grey vinyl, as I hadn't seen it used before on a mini

After several hours of swearing, and burnt fingers, I managed to come up with this....

Love this think of doing the same but in black why it's got an airbag warming light I be got the same thing and a wooden dash?

It's out of an MPI mini which had an airbag

I just left it there because I didn't want a hole in the dash...
