finished mk1 to mk2 console was created by rayb

Posted 13 years 10 months ago #20133


hi guys just finished converting my mgf mk1 console to a mk2.the air vents were coverd in a tacky carbon fibre so out they come and i removed it and gave the a good clean with some meths. i did use the mgtf clocks but could mot change the orange lighting on them with out taking them to bits so spotted the mgf silver face dials on ebay going cheap and fitted green leds to them. i hope you engoy as its not to every ones taste.

That looks great. Have to say the swap from Mk1 to Mk2 console just makes the whole interior look more modern. When I did Meg's it was like I was looking at new car- and yours looks as good too! Well done - on with more of the Dark Side now eh?!

Tis looking very smart, Did you get the console as silver or spray it up yourself.

Here's my black one.

Mine started of black, its from an LE500, so no spraying needed. Intend to change all the lighting but going to do the dials/heater first before doing the switches

They now do leds with the resistor built in. They will take 12 volts.:yesnod:
