Hey fellas , just a lil update on the bad boy mini so far. Since this thread, the mini is now insured and registed and im down in melbourne, so its garaged down here.
ANyways thought id show my custom dash ive been workin on, and a grill with a badge i restored. oh sorry for the crap house photos.

so heres the grill w/restored badge.



and now my custom dash, which has taking much of my time. It took me a lengthy process, but much worth the while. As it hides all the electrics. I get my pioneer pro series speakers this week. And atm im keeping it real with the old alpine h/u which is in sweet nik and still runnin perfect. If anyone wants to know the process in which i took, let me know.



see how good that reflection is!?!?!?1


post ya comment,
peace
=twista=

looks good and its nice and shiny and keeps in with the rest of the car

whats the othe side of the dash look like?

discreet is the idea in the interior section.
but aussie16 see the 4th pic???

hhah yer i get ur message

but yer it looks good..is that a tape player i see?

yeah aussie16 its an alpine tape deck. I got my pioneer speakers in this arvo, and when i connected them up to the h/u, the h/u was crap. so i crap canned that, and chucking in a pioneer h/u

hahah thought you might be doing that! tape-players are so old-school, keep it for a few more years and it will be an antique

haha yeh true. my 18th is comin up, so i'll get my p's real soon, and a new pioneer head unit

Hey,

Just saw ur pics of the dash... if you didn't like the way the dash meets the dash pad may i suggest an easy suggestion..

I initially used some tiling corner... where walls end (or meet) when your tiling, they put a corner on it. It worked well but because it was plastic didn't last real long. I have now gone to the same sort of idea but with a metal product. Zip into bunnings and see what you think if u got time. i think it makes a good improvement but depends if u want it REAL discreet.

Brad
