Both console & carpets looking good Gareth. Although the P6 interior is hard to criticise, I sometimes think that a litte extra wooden veneer wouldn't have been a bad thing and I do think the console is a nice touch - kind of brightens up or "lifts" the interior nicely. Did you come by it or make it and,if so, tell us how please?

TBH, I think the wood slightly detracts from the forward-looking design of the interior. I like the blackness of the standard cabin fitments broken up by the particular colour scheme afforded by the seats, door cards...etc & the thin line of veneer around the waistline. Though I like the all-black scheme too.
Nice job though.

Looking good Gareth. I agree with you, some of the plastic does look underwhelming, especially the S2 instrument binnacle, and the handbrake and gear gaitors look a bit cheap. I've a spare centre console I hope to find a long piece of black leather for, with a thin sheet of foam underneath plus replace the gaitors with leathers. And maybe polish the ashtrays, Corazon-style 8)
don't forget to post the pics Tor :wink:

I couldn't disagree more. I've always loved the S2 instrument layout & think it looks very classy indeed.

I'm half and half on that one. I love how comprehensive and clear the dials are, but when viewed from an angle other than the drivers' seat, it does look a little plain. I have a few subtle mods planned to correct that. I also think the centre console is a bit underwhelming in original form. I like Gareth's idea, and like the NADA style leather approach, but haven't decided if I'll do anything yet.
Looking good, Gareth! A lovely clean interior makes everything feel better!

hi guys thanks for the replys well mth has got a name already (christine) from the movie she was name that because she was white with red seats at the time
i didnt like the p6 gear gaitor so replaced that with a leather 1 and does set that off i do need to replace the hand brake gaitor so i will replace that with a nice leather 1 i got the carpets from rover classic but wins have taken over and they do nice carpets
some people dont like the wood and some do i realy thinks it set if right off and think rover should of done that in the first place and some people think i should of kept with the orginal dash but i hated that so much so thought it best to replace it with the later type but did not like the black so thought would make it all match

I guess it could have made it more obvious, but if you click on the photo, that's where it goes. :?v8guy said:
