I have finished my interior updates. I have a 2006 MCS HB/B with Blue Lapis Leather and HB interior.


I have replaced the following:
Redline Goods shift boots, black leather with a blue stripe and blue stitching.
Newministuff leather down tubes with blue stitching.
Minifini cup holder
Hyper Blue shift ****
Hyper Blue e-brake handle

downtubes,

I'm curious how they feel comparing to the hard plastic ones, which always give me sore knees after autoX, do they cushion much better? was thinking about getting a knee pad http://www.myminiparts.com/proddetai...rod=DKP&cat=10

The leather downtubes are are just plastic wrapped in leather. They are soft to the touch, but they are not padded.

I just like the look of them. I have now gotten rid of all the cheap silver plastic pieces (except on the doors). With the full leather interior they look perfect. Now I have the blue going across the dash, then a stripe of black, then the blue carpet. Everything in my car is now blue and black.
