Default Anyone tried these leather dash covers?

Hi All
I am tempted to revamp my interior as it is very tired. In standard form the series 1 interior is very plasticky and not very nice IMHO so I have been looking at upgrades. JF Custom interiors sell leather dash, centre console and door cards in the UK. They look OK but has anyone bought these? what do you think? can you post pictures?

I sent an email to them to see if they make them for US cars, I'll post the reply if and when I get one.

I just heard back from them, they will do LHD, just have to request it when ordering.
It's a bit pricy, but it looks good, better then that the piece of formed carpet I have on there now.

H Gregs04.5, Let us know how you get on if you do order - I am bogged down fixing other things that don't work first - you know how it is....

I just covered mine with synthetic leather, and that material is a real treat to work with.
Repaired the cracks with expanding glue, then used normal contact glue for the new covering, and this is the result so far:

Recovered mine with a vinyl cover from Classic 9 Leather Shop. They have a kit that comes with cover, underlayment foam, new defrost trim and instructions. Was $280.00. If you want leather they have that too. Cost about $100 more i think.

Could you be more specific about "synthetic leather"? What is it exactly and where did you get it? Your dash looks really nice.
