Hi,
I was looking at changing my dashboard trim to the checkered one avaliable from Mini however at over £160 pounds to do it sounded a bit steep! After a bit of research I found this website selling graphics that fit onto the existing panel, they were £20 and give pretty much the same effect as the real thing, just thought I would share if anyone was thinking of doing the same. They do quite a few other designs too.
Here is the website
