There is a guy on ebay in the UK that will make one with any thread color you want if you can't find a genuine MINI set. I think he'll do different leather colors too.

 

Hi the bad is will miss the JCW logo, best keep OE.
Hope some have in good condition, would be great with black thread color but also open for red

 

Your best bet might be one of the FB r53 parts groups. You're after a pretty rare part that I belive was only made for a few years and was pretty expensive before it was NLA. Might be a unicorn.

 

Best of luck though. Think the seats you're after will be easier to find.

 

you will pay well over 1000 for that dash... and just to get the JCW logo that most people can barely see... at this point the people selling that dash know they are extremely rare and sought after... last guy tried to sell me one for 1800 bux

 

yeah 1k including the side parts no problem as long good condition + OEM.
Crazy is I bought this exact in 2008, I even wrote here about it. But that time my R53 had five-piece dash so I gave the seller 50 USD to keep it and not send me.

I hope someone will sell me R56 JCW Recaro seats with heated elements.

I just put WTB ad in those groups

 

thats because in 2008 they were still making them so you could still go to the dealer and buy one new... now 14 years later they stopped making said parts

 

Yeah thats sad Hope I can get this, its for this car

 

I just did a worldwide sold item search on ebay - not a single one listed and sold in the last 6 months - globally.

This place lists it at nearly $500 USD, but it it likely an un-updated stock.... I ran into similar issues when looking for my last interior panel for my restoration - un-updated catalog pages. Anyhow, might be worth a check... https://www.lllparts.co.uk/product/c...pn/51450404445

 

Out dated page for sure. Most can’t be bothered to list NLA or delete the page.

 

EDIT!

disregard my advice, right hand drive won't work!

duh.

Apologies.

Maybe also keep an eye on the Japanese auctions because rare stuff does pop up over there quite frequently.

I've been looking lately because the exchange rate is so good right now,
saw what you're after but it is installed in a car and not sold separately...

I have a genuine JCW leather dash and down-tubes which are for sale. The dash is in great condition, apart from a small tear which has been repaired and is barely visible. It has the red stitching. I have the matching down-tubes too, looking to sell as a complete set. I can get some photos up if you're interested? They came from my 2008 JCW R52 which had some JCW parts installed.

 

Hi wow thats great please if you can send some pictures or put pictures + price

 

I'll get some up over the weekend for sure!

 

The down-tube shows where the cup-hiolder was fitted. The other one is fine, these are currently in the car and I am going to switch them out. The dash and the tubes are genuine MINI were among other JCW extras fitted to the car such as shifter and e-brake handle. The dash has a small repair and one clip is missing, but this does not affect how it fits into the car, it looks amazing! I just changed this out for anthracite to match the door panels and trim.
Shipping to Norway is around the $100+ mark and I would like to sell the dash and down-tubes as a set. Due to the rarity I was thinking of asking $1500, PLMK.
