Time for an update.

A big thanks to Tony Bones at WIM for the free Geo check at the last meet. She was a tiny bit out, but now 100% as she should be.

Those of you who saw her at the meet would have noticed the slight colour miss match from the rear to the front so she's in having the front end sprayed, so everything matches again.

The interior is now all set for some serious loving, I have a full dash at home so plenty to play with!!

Going to change the clocks also, not seen any that I really like yet though.

For the dash:

Paint the centre console yellow or carbon wrap it? Any ideas people????

This is one of the nicest MR2 out there so take your time to consider what will look best for your car.
As the cabin is quite small you can be lavish with the interior with out spending a fortune.

Tis very true Ian. but what will look the best, interior styling is not my strong point.

I would have a look out there for custom interior companies and pick their brains.
Your car in my mind would look nice in the exterior colour hand stitched with the remainder in black.

The Bentley has black leather square look leather I think this would look nice.I have added a link but the seat look on this Bentley to be added to the interior dash.
Subject to cost of course..

I have seen some with a full stiched leather centre console and dash board. Iirc this was done through rogue motorsport, so could be worth checking out

trim the whole dash same as the seats etc (black with twin yellow stitch) and paint the center plastic part black same as wheel center colour that way it keeps with the same colour theme. tbh i wouldnt paint the center same yellow as the car as itll be to in your face imo

Flocking is not going to happen!! H doesn't like that effect.
I like the leather idea, so will have a chat with the guy near me who does leather trimming, hope it won't be to much!!

yeah flocking is either hit and miss, trimmings definately the way forward but is pricey unfortunately iirc i was qouted around £500 for the dash to be done (with me removing the dash)
