This is what the NB SE interior should have looked like!
Got rid of that horrid slab of silver in the centre dash, added some shiny bits, different backlighting, much nicer. :mrgreen:

That does look amazing, Nevyn. Did you paint/dye the stero/hvac/lighter surrounds black? And is that chrome around the shifter and the shift knob new too?

Was initially done in gloss black vinyl dye, which didn't end up being very gloss, so overcoated with gloss clear coat. :wink:

Yes, and very nice it is too! :mrgreen:

Hard to see but ive added different gauges that are American Muscle style, as i have always loved that classic simplicity look. And also sneaky Miata keyring, hazard and pop up light switches and vent rings

Soon to add bucket seats, roll bar and harnesses

Love the gauges and the wheel, but can someone explain this d*ldo 'bubble' gear knob (pun intended) craze to me?
Not saying I don't like it, but I do need some help understanding it.

hey darkside, whats the story with that textured finish on the top of the door trim and the crashpad? looks cool, how'd you do it?

I just took them off, put contact adhesive on them and laid the denim over the top, made the car feel heaps more modern because i'd already replaced the door cards with ABS and it doesn't get as hot as the stupid vinyl anyways. Did the armrest in the center and the cubby hole too.

What's this repeated love of dashmats? Are they hiding a/your crack?

I don't want to spam this, so check out the last page of my build thread.

The 2000 Heritage Edition is mine.
Wheels from a US 95 M-Edition, Mazdaspeed JDM Type-F seats, Forward dated front bumper and lights with a throwback NA nose decal.
At some point I'd like to re-trim the Type-Fs in parchment leather to match the rest of the interior.

The 2004 SE is my Dad's.
Full factory red interior swapped from a 2000 model UK Jasper Conran Edition, including red carpet in the boot and glovebox.
The interior turned up on German eBay, presumably from a Jasper Conran that got bingled and written off.

It's pretty wild isn't it.
So much leather, even the tonnau and door cards are leather.
It ties in nicely with the red stitching on the SE wheel and shifter. I think it actually looks better than it did with the bizarre silver wheel in the original Jasper Conran.

Only thing really left to do is to repaint the door handles in titanium grey, they are currently starlight silver to match the exterior of the Jasper Conran.
