On drivers side there 3 polls/ nubs (for lack of a better term) that snap into place. On the passenger where the secret compartment is there is are 2 screws. Thats not the hard bit though. That will be getting the compartment work with the wood.

 

So I finally finished my dash and I think it looks really good let me know what you think.

 

wow!

 

Looks nice! Do you do 1st gen interiors?

 

Nice.

 

Geez, that's gorgeous! Nice work!

 

YOU'RE HIRED! It looks great and so much better that any retrofit you could imagine buying.

 

That looks really rich and warm--very nice! It almost makes the rest of the interior look blue by contrast, which I don't find to be a bad thing at all.

 

Excellent !!

I thought about that, myself, but after looking at the dash pieces with their compound curves I was convinced I just don't have the skills needed to make it look good.

Obviously, you do. Great work....and certainly one of a kind.

 

Looks awesome. You should add a thicker layer of laquer and then shoot it with clearcoat so it gives the wood even more depth and gets rid of the grain holes (look more expensive ). Very nice job. You should consider putting more of the same through the car. The door armrests would look really neat but you may need like a rubber pad on top so you don't burn through the finish over time.

 

That's exactly what I thought too. More laquer and more wood trim would round out your interior nicely.

Nice work by the way!

 

I like the middle one the best!

 

I gotta ask...how did you copy the shapes?
Is the back side flat or is it curved, too?

 

That looks fantastic. Great job!

 

Turned out great! Personally I dont think wood is right for the MINI, but somehow this works.

 

that looks really nice, well done!
