Do they offer this for the 07 & 08 models? I have been looking around and cannot seem to find anything about the current year offerings. Even the Morristown MINI site has nothing.

Thanks in advance.

Gabe,

"(A) DonÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t be afraid to pull on the old dash getting it out and (B) donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t be afraid to push on the new dash to get it in."

Hope this thread hasn't gone cold...I'm getting the leather dash for my '06 but am paranoid about breaking plastic trim trying to get it off without understanding how to apply force, and how much force to apply. Do you grab the old panels on the lower outer corners with your fingers and pull hard straight down or pull down and out at the same time? What's the best way to remove the panel around the steering wheel, if like me, you have the knee bolster and not the parcel shelf? To install the new bits, do you push the panel straight up from the bottom, having aligned it with the lower edge of the dash? What do the clips or fasteners that hold the panels to the underlying dash look like/work like? Any tips on removing the cup holder/seat heater console? I read elsewhere that this is not a straightforward job, especially releasing & re-clipping the seat heater control module.

All insights much appreciated,

Stephan

So will this kit work on an Ã¢â‚¬Ëœ04 Cooper (non-s)?

The JCW Leather dash only fits 2005 and 2006 MINIs.

I now have all the various stitching colours available in Left hand drive too, along with the cup holder & gear ring in leather. Please note though the colour stitching options are made to order so do take extra time

You can’t feasibly retro-fit the late dash to an early car-you will sacrifice the passenger airbag assembly. It’s not worth the effort. Check our website in a week.

Old classic Mini Coopers had leather covering applied to the dash where the ashtray sits in, and on the panel that holds the light, ignition and wipers swtiches. These panels are above and below the centre speedo. So the new MINI thing is not new - only retro.

What next? Maybe we could have "vinyl roof" covering. BMC cars of the 60/70 era had leather/vinyl glued to the roof to give a impression of a convertible top. Many USA cars did the same. Only problem was the covering caused severe rusting of the roof panel.
