Thats still not a stick on number plate, I'm hoping to get the rear wheels off and some new tyres, as they are really at the limit on size, and one has a slow flat. Probably going to go down to a 45 profile to give a little more clearance at the rear, I'm hoping to make new arch liners while they are off
Fitted the leather speedo cover, its a much better match to the mx5 tan colour, albeit some slight fading, of the original dash, getting a price for stitched leather for the centre console and dash surround, think it'll be about £200-250 all in,
There’s a company that sells on eBay that makes them
That's probably the company I bought the dash cover from, JF customs i think.....but they don't list a full tan console/stereo surround so I'm just waiting on a price.
Been reading through loads of old build threads on the forum, great for finding inspiration.... but I feel like a bit of a stalker now ��
Ordered leather wrap for the console, £235, also received tan carpet and edging and some extra strong machine needles, so I can have a go at making some edged carpet, but next job is to make a stick on number plate

Having a go at the seal to the roof, I've used plastic upvc corner profile, to get the 90 degree seal in the position I need, unfortunately my electric window switch has given up on the passenger side down, so I've ordered some retro toggle switches
I ended up using a nylon brush on a drill with a steamer to strip all the leather back, then recoated them with leather paint in a hvlp spray gun, really pleased with them, but long term I'm planning on getting leather bucket seats
