Hi There,

I am interested in adding a wood dash to my Indi Cooper.

Does anyone know if the OEM wood dash option can be added to an already built car?

Alos, I have searched the net for wood dash kits. Some do not cover the passenger airbag (what is the point of a wood dash if 1/3 of the dash is still silver/grey?) Others have unsightly parting lines through the airbag section. Does anyone have any suggestions on a decent aftermarket kit?

Thanks!!!
Fred

Fred, We've (ok I've) been looking at the samething for "Mrs Peal". My dealer advised the can order the parts and have service install them. Cost was around $750 plus laber & tax etc. Course after you do that you need to have all the "New" crome trim bits installed...

WOW!! $750?!? That is a chunk of change just forth'wood' dash.

Unfortunatel;y, I have not seen a decent looking aftermarket wood tim set.

Does anyone know of one that has a passenger side airbag piece?

There is a UK company now manufacturing dash kits in carbon fibre and a choice of veneers. They are called Classical Dash

WE added the genuine wood parts from MINI...cost was about $750 Canadian for all 5 pieces...plus tax, plus install...about 2 hours labour. All the aftermarket ones we could find were just stick on stuff...and looked like it. Anybody want an unused " brushed steel dash"...I'll ship for free?
