If I wanted to do one of these conversions does anybody know where I would be able to purchase a dash out of a BMW Mini. Also how much do you think one of these will set me back.

Thanks
MiniGTi :D :D :D

How much wider is a Bini than a Mini? I think the Bini dash would need a fair bit of trimming, not sureI suspect it would ruin the look of it. Find a Bini & take some measurements for us.

it might be worth contacting the guy who did that, (even though he is in the UK), just to get an idea of all the work you'd need to do. Seems like an awful lot of effort, and being a BMW part i can't imagine it'd be awfully cheap either...

that looks pretty sweet, but for the money spent you could do so much better.

That it does. And it doesn't even look as though it's been trimmed.

Thanks for the pic!!!

It hasn't got ANY of the BINI gauges in it. :?

The speedo and tacho are just generic brand gauges. Hmmm. And what's in the middle? It doesn't look like BINI stuff. Now i'm suspicious. Only the main dash fascia is BINI! :?

It looks perfectly fitted because this guy clearly has too much money, and he can afford for professionals to do all the work. Dash Original in SA can do some pretty cool stuff like that. :wink:

didn't think they looked like BINI gauges, was not sure if it was a old one though. either way, still a sweet looking dash and stuwey, i agree - too much money
