Where to buy plain new dash?

Hi all

I am just about to trade my MX5 in for a Mini as my partner and I are having a child in a few days. I've found a 2004 Cooper S that I'm very keen on but there's just one thing:

The dash board is made of imitated wood and I am not very fond of those things. I've searched the net but all I can find is either wood, chrome or so-called carbon. What I would really like is a very plain grey or black one to replace the fake wood.

Can anyone point me in the right direction.

A whole lotta thanks...

You could get a quote from the dealer. Use realoem.com to find part numbers then give them a call.

a local scrap yard would probably be cheapest, most written off car's interiors are in mint condition.

Paul and c.gray, thanks to both of you. Simple answer, I guess. I've started my search...
