Leather Dash - MINI2

Jordan210 · #1 (**permalink**) Dec 17th, 2006, 07:57 PM

Right Im thinking about changing my anthracite dash to the JCW leather one. Also would get the Downtubes. THey would have to be the ones with Red stiching. BUT would this work in my car as i dont have Leather seats ?

I just have Cloth red and black sport seats.?

Thanks Jordan

The seats are way out of my budget at the moment so is the dash realy but we will see what happen.

How long have you had your MINI Jordan?

Sorry to sound like a party pooper, but have you considered that all these lovely expensive mods won't add any value come trade in time and that the money spent could be put in the bank towards the deposit of your next MINI when you decide its time for a change

Just having been trying to get a decent trade in on mine recently its made me realise how all the mods I had brought could have been used to get a higher spec car

I have had the car about 6 months

I was working on the assumption i wont be getting a New car for a long time and i will not wont one for a good few years.

Also that why i am not getting a new dash only the smaller things that i can take of before i sell the car and sell on or keep as memories.

trade in why worry its all about enjoying the car you have not worring about the next owner spend and enjoy lad and imo cars should be kept a bit loner than 3 years like mums car is now 10 years old and dads 6 and the mini is over 3 and is staying for good

Just wondered that was all mate, just on a bit of downer at the moment about trading mine or keeping it, and realising that the money I spent over the years on mods is worthless when selling

But some of those mods I'd do again, as you can't beat JCW seats

Iv been told by a few people who are tall dont get JCW seats as u cant move them much.... Also there a bit out of my range.. I could afford 1 .... Thats if i could find 1 on jcw website there is none

You won't get a much better car than you have mate - keep it.
I am so glad I got mine when I did, I have driven several R56 now & the feeling just isn't there with them & can't see it being there.
Those add on bits are what makes your Mini yours. Keep it maybe go see Roland for a bit of an upgrade
