Best interior trim for mk1 MX5?

[Legend83]

Hello all,

Following on from my contribution to the 'What are your plans for 2009', I wanted to know what people's opinions are on interior trim for mk1s?

I am fed up with my 60s wood trim which looks tired compared to the rest of the car. Some sort of stainless steel or carbon look might be pretty cool.

Any pics well received.

If you look on Nutz or Clubroadster theres 'show us your interior' threads on both.

I have to say the centre console is a bit grim, I'm gonna have a bash with some leather or vinyl at some point.

I think we have the same interior

Where did you get that steering wheel from? I like!

Indeed we do. Tempted just to dig it all off and use a bit of white spirit to get rid of the glue, and just leave it black for the time being.

P.s. yeah, seen that interior as well, nit sure about the chrome, but stainless steel looks quite good. Shame you can't see it on a mk1 in the pictures.

Do it. The "wood" on mine was knackered (all the laquer had gone on the bits around the ashtray and vents) so I pulled it all off. I've added stainless vent rings, dial rings, dial buttons, gearknob and a leather and stainless handbrake grip. I think the stainless ventilation control facia is a bit much.

Always think less is more. Never have been a fan of wood on the Mx5, leather and black plastic with a wee bit of chrome is the way to be!

Oh... I must be getting old.

I have a 5 in stock with that 'wood' and I liked it.

I thought it brightened up the dull interior.

I'm not sure chap - it was on the car when I bought it last year. It's a Momo wheel and rather lovely to look at and hold. Sorry I can't help.

The wood on my one is staying!!

I have to admit, when I bought the car I wasn't really fussed about the interior. And my daily has plenty of leather and germanic black and silver plastic so happy for this one to look and feel different.

Plus, my mates have given me such a ribbing for having (in their opinions) a naff faux-wood dash, that I'll now not remove/replace it out of sheer principle

That steering wheel looks to me like a Momo Fighter.

[matt uk]

You could well be right.
Mine though is not a new steering wheel, I reckon it's been on the car for quite some time. The current Momo wheels look much more modern and have thumb rests.

hi there,

I swapped my mk1 interior with a mk2 interior and relay like it took a weakened or so to do and the parts cost about 100

£100 is not bad - was it easy to do? Got any pictures?

The 10AE came with a carbon fibre effect console trim, which I like because no other edition has it (as far as I know). I'll try and find some pics but I suspect that I'll need to take a close up one to get a better look.

See this thread on Planet, Mk2 interior into a Mark 1, looks lovely.
