I really like the white accents. What kind of paint do you use and how do you prep the plastic if at all? How many coats? (I know nothing about painting plastic!)

Great thread by the way. Interiors tend not to be photographed as much ....

 

borrowed interior from new husband's mini :lol:

 

Where did you guys get your dark gauge faces?

may i ask who tuned your mini with that NOS and methanol?

 

Outmotoring has Gauge Faces. I picked up mine from there.

OutMotoring Custom Gauge Faces

 

There is definitely more room for some more gauges

 

Needs more gauges......

 

My '03 JCW...

 

Craven mounting set up with Marshall Mini Gauges

 

thanks, they look good.

I helped a buddy change his and they weren't that hard to do, although it's pretty scary when you're puling the needles off the gauges. We had to reset the speedo needle a couple of times (to get it to match the digital readout in the tach), and the fuel gauge still reads a bit low - I think we were a bit off on that one.....However, I really like the way his looked once it was done.

I never could find a color that I liked or I would have done them on my '03. Are they making them for the second gen cars?

 

Here's my UJ dash - wraps from minimotoringgraphics.com

 

Do the vinyls cover the whole dash piece, or can you tell that they are stick ons by being able to see the sides of the dash pieces?:beer

 

My wraps don't cover the entire front of each piece - there's a border of about 1/8th of an inch on each edge. I imagine a custom wrap shop could create a full wrap-around piece.

 

im pulling mine off to paint them when the weather gets better or when i get a garage.
