Finally I got around to wire all the Military style switches inside the car.  I decided to mount them below the headunit as the led that lights up when they are switched on is qute bright.

At the moment only one switch has been connceted to its acssesories.  This switche turns on the interior lights whihc are the neons (found them lying in the house whihc used to be in my pc) in the footwell and an el wire illuminating the speaker board

The switch when turned ON

Today i also bought some foam and vinyl to cover the center console.  IN the mean time while I have the center console dismanteled i am going to wire the rest of the acssesories which will include 2 Spotlights, 2 fog lights and also an auxiliary hornor strobe lights behind the grill which i still have to decide.

I bought a Shift boot and a frame (suppose to be for a peugot 106) to fit to the center console. This improved the look of the consoel and made it look much better.

Now Finally i have got around upholstering the center console.  It was my first time trying to do upholstery  so there were some problems and all but over all I happy with the result

Did you make a paper template for your speaker box? If so, I need one. That looks really good, and I am no carpenter.I saw your Mini while updating my forum and had to have a look. Check out my Mini and see if you don't agree, that we have a few things in common.Your car looks so much better since the color change. Post all new stuff when you can. I'll give you 5*****s, and add you to my friends list.
