Not sure I like the stitching seams in the middle of the dash , but has got to better than cracked dashes.

Great find (I hope)

Got to be better than the cracks appearing in my squaredash and some of the covers I've seen elsewhere.....Just ordered one.

I'll post up detail photo's when it arrives

Same the stitch in the middle off cluster

I would fit one if it the right colour and the stitch is removed probably mean a larger peace off leather and slightly higher cost

Not strictly my find. Someone else had posted a link to their 924 dash on the PCGB site, but Im happy to post the series two dash as I have talked to the vendor in the past about 924 & 944 parts after buying my MX-5 parts from them.

With regards to the seams: Robert Budds stuff is definitely better, but its also 5x the price and even a vinyl cover is US$600 ex delivery and duty.

I spoke to them, mention years a go dash cover and centre console cover would be a good idea.

Iv messaged them for a sample and requested less pannles and stitching which can be arranged

So the stitching is there for show rather than being a necessity due to small pieces of leather being used?

Theyre pretty good at sending samples out, in my experience. Im surprised by their range though because I hadn't expected anything to ever come of it.

I think the stiching would be for cheaper item, smaller off cuts but they said the could produce it without the seem on the cluster would ideally like the horizontal stitches gone as well.

Have they got centre console as well?
Gear gattor and some arm rest grabs

Sunvisors, A-pillar trims, cassette box lids and a couple of series two centre console options. One is £60 and one £100 from memory, with the dearer one adding a gaiter and a cassette box lid to the base console kit.

A more expensive, but certainly better, option.

The guy who did my interior had to fit one of these last week, he said it was a pig to fit and not the best quality, also as it was pre-cut difficult to get right.
He reckons he could do a better job from scratch with a hide for a similar price.
