Evening Nick , yes the plastic is a bit overpowering in the Z , i removed all the plastic that runs backward from the gearstick and around the handbrake , i am sure it must be possible to remove it "gently" but its a lot easier with a junior hacksaw! watching out for all those cables , i also removed the centre section of the dash that holds the radio amongst other bits and cut it down so it doesn`t run down to the centre tunnel (for no other reason than to try and make it look different) , i covered the now exposed gearstick and handbrake with some leather gaiters from a MG ZR!! of EBAY , all the switches that were dotted aound the centre plastic section i moved up to near where the radio would sit . I then covered the area where the plastic used to sit with black trimming carpet(EBAY) , the next time i can get home from work when its light and not raining i will take some pics , it is by no means perfect but i dont claim to be a car upholstery expert , 11 days and counting for me , Geoff . PS your car really does look good , have you decided on a final colour yet?
