I've had my Astro Black mini for about 2 years now and I love it. I made the mistake of being overwhelmed by all the customized options, so I went with the default as far as the interior is concerned. I am getting the itch to change my Silver-line dash to something new. also, the door panel trim.

I don't want to do this with stickers. I want to actually change out the parts.
Does anybody know where I can find a place that sells replacements?

 

Well the dealer and some of the vendors here on NAM can sell you the parts for the Dash very easily. They are easy to change and behind the steerign wheel just snaps off and the cover for the secret compartment has screws in the back side.

As for the door/trim panels the trim parts are not just a snap off item, they can be changed but are plastic welded in place so it take a bit to get the old ones off and then usually can not be easily reused.

 

The dash parts are pretty easy to change out. The door panel trim is not. It is heat-welded to the door panel and difficult to replace. vinyl may be the bst option for the doors

 

thanks for the responses. what vendor is a good one that sells these parts? I've searched numerous online stores and couldn't find anything

 

The parts can be purchased at the parts department of any MINI dealership, or vendors such as Detroit Tuned, Way Motor Works, Helix, and others can order OEM parts for you.

 

what about just the arm rest on the door? Not the oval door trim. Are those easy to swap out?
I would love to just change the arm rest and the bottom dash panels to a blue.

 

Have you considered something like this? http://www.redlinegoods.com/MINI07doorarm.shtm

Looks awesome (and leather is nicer than vinyl!). Isn't a complete swap like you're asking for but it might be a good alternative if you can't find pieces to directly swap out.

 

Armrests just pop off. Would be easy to cover in leather.
I would like to do the center section in Ultrasuede.
