They look very nice :thumbup:

As for the steering wheel I think a full leather one would look a lot lot better and have one to swap you...

I've seen ZT's with the Dark Walnut and they have looked fantastic! Do a search....

Looking nice dude!

The red seats match up nicely with the red MG motif as though the car had them fitted in at the factory. You could look through the photo gallery for the the different dash boards if you are thinking of changing yours or go to a meet and have a look and see what the other members have done.

This is my ZT with a walnut dash. It just needs a wood wheel to finish it off

Yours looks real nice in the flesh some hate the old walnut on a zt I think it looks great

That looks excellent with the red alcantara seats which provide a nice contrast with the black exterior. I reckon a walnut dash would look superb in that, complementing the red seats!

frustrating day guys!!

firstly.. this morning i couldnt start here,apparently id flattened the battery playing with the new electric seats!!! just clicked,so after advice on here went out and brought a new battery..all works fine now.

so i decided to fit a walnut dash.Its a real one that i brought from lakeland minis brand new in the box..but no air vents etc.

took out mine and took the vents etc of it and screwed them onto the walnut one.

when it comes to fitting it what a game!!! air was blue i tell ya.. its all fitted now but is not a good fit,im wondering if the new parts that i added to the the old dash do this,I may trawl ebay for an old one complete see if that fits better.

does look good though and i think ill keep it.although the sterring wheel is lighter than the dash.

tuesday the BMw sat nav drive arrives so looking forward to fitting that.

chris

Ill take pics tomorrow of the dash
