That certainly will be an option James - vinyl leatherette coverings will be standard options, which should be launched in the next few weeks.

And as promised, a few photos from today's photo shoot....

Before we started the photo shoot this morning we laid them all out (well most of them anyway, missing one design). As you can see it's a pretty vast range!! Can you see the design that you fancy?



Below are our raised binnacle centre clock design for Classic Mini's not fitted with the top padded dash rail (metal dash rail set-ups).



Below are our sunken binnacle centre clock design for Classic Mini's not fitted with the top padded dash rail (metal dash rail set-ups). And you can also see the flat designs at the front (single colour).



Below (at he back there) are our raised binnacle centre clock and offset binnacle clock designs for Classic Mini's fitted with the top padded dash rail (top padded dash rail set-ups).



And finally, below are our flat centre clock and offset binnacle clock designs for Classic Mini's fitted with the top padded dash rail (top padded dash rail set-ups).



And we then got on with shooting them....



So, it's already been a busy day and it's by no means over yet (still lots to shoot). Enjoy the photos!!

they tasty

Are the clocks angled as per similar dashes on the market?

[roberts]

I'm guessing you mean for the offset binnacles? If so...

Nope, the clocks are not angled. Just like all vinyl leatherette dashboards with the raised block design that are available, they sit square on the backing so they line up with the other raised blocks.

We have dramatically improved the way the offset binnacles fit to our dashboards (in comparison with others available) and on our dashboards the offset clock binnacles sit right at the front of the housing (only 6mm from the front of the dash) - which means they are not hidden by a deep binnacle turret (like on others available).

Or in other words, basically means they don't need to be angled.

That is as you say "a pretty vast range".

There's black, blue, black and blue.
Black.
Or even blue and black.

A vast range and no doubt about it.




Actually they look good and well played if they're going for a good price.
It's time someone put a decent dash on the market for sensible money.

Where's the price list ?

Prices will be competitive, so anything from £60 to £130 for the vinyl leatherette range depending on specs, layouts, options etc.

Our 'standard' range of wooden veneers are a high quality 0.60mm real wood veneer stocked by Chapman and Cliff (who veneer and lacquer our dashboards), the veneers themselves are sourced from Nantwich Veneers, who also supply veneers to Bentley Motors Ltd and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Ltd - so quality can certainly be assured.

And... our range of effect vinyl's:

3M Di-Noc™
We offer a large range of 3M Di-Noc™ vinyl, the genuine 3M product (made in Japan). 3M Di-Noc™ vinyl's are more expensive than other effect vinyl's available (see below) but they are extremely durable and of a very high quality (in comparison with other vinyl's).


Other Effect Vinyl's
In addition to the range of 3M Di-Noc™ vinyl options that we offer (above), we also offer a cheaper, alternative range - this range does have more options (finishes and colours), but is not of as high quality (in comparison with the 3M Di-Noc™ vinyl's).

Good evening TMF,

A bit of an update for you regarding the bespoke dashboard special offers. All of the emails have been sent out today with prices, information etc. for the specific option that you showed interest in.

So from now on this is the initial deadlines that we have set:

1) We have set a deadline date of Wednesday 24th April 2013 at 09:30 to hear back from you regarding which option you are interested in.
2) We have set a deadline date of Monday 29th April 2013 at 09:30 for those top of the list to purchase the dashboard at the quoted special offer price.
3) Once payment is received we will progress with manufacturing the dashboard.
4) We estimate that the demo dashboards will take upwards of 4 weeks to manufacturer and dispatch.

If anyone who did not initially contact us, is interested in any of the below types of dashboards, please contact us ASAP as we still have plenty of special offers available (only the carbon fibre dash has been ordered as of now, so the 'mega' offer on a carbon fibre dash is not available - but special offers are still available, so a saving of £30 to £50).

- Bespoke Effect Vinyl Dashboards (vinyl effect carbon fibre, burr wood etc.)
- Bespoke Printed Dashboards (custom decal design)
- Bespoke Painted Dashboards
- Bespoke Carbon Fibre Dashboards SOLD
- Bespoke Veneered Dashboards


Thanks
