Here is mine, standard 3 dial gauge in alloy look dash from mini spares UK. The round air vents have small speakers behind them to keep the sounds nicely tucked away.

Well damn you've made my mind up Simo. The colour theme for my mini will be silver and black and I was looking at these alloy dashes for it as I don't really have one right now...that sells it for me...

Goodie - Sorry but I have no idea what make the wheel is, I got it second hand on ebay and sprayed it silver to match the dash. I dont remember it having any brand name on it.

I know I've asked this question before, but did anyone who has made their own dashboard with new warning lights and the like have any issues with the alternator failing to apply sufficient charge to the battery? Also, Did you wire in the voltage regulator from the original instrument cluster?
