dashboards, door cards and carpet
Turbo Mini Forums

I'm getting to that point in the project where I need to make some decisions. The whole idea of the car is something Rover could have possibly built so I want to use a 'standard' dash arrangement.

I'm not keen on the genuine Rover dashboards but have been tempted with either a charcoal one from Minisport or alternatively a carbon fibre one which I saw in one of the cars on here - anyone know where I can get one of these?

I'm also looking for new door cards- I was going to use standard city cards in grey vynil, however I spied these guys on fleebay;

www.retroretrims.net

It is hard to gauge quality from the photos although feedback is good. Anyone had any dealings with them?

finally, i'm looking for a carpet set but I've cut out the rear bins - most people seem to do without carpet in a racer style but has anyone managed to get a full set made up without the cutouts in the rear section?

I've known Chris & Amanda for quite a few years now, they used to live in Bristol until earlier this year. About a year back I got Chris to make me up a set of custom door cards for my MG, can't complain at the quality.

i havn't seen any of the retro retrims work personally but i know they post a fair amount on The Mini Forum. I need a new headlining kit and from people's reviews I think i will buy there's

i just recieved my headlining kit from them today i have to say im well impressed with the quality for the price. looks much better than the original and they even give you a tip sheet on how to fit it.
