    Default GenII MPS 3 Dash Strips - Carbon Fibre

    Hi All,

    For those who haven't yet seen this in my 'Members Rides' thread, below are pics of the process used to convert the ugly red/black patterned dash strips to Carbon Fibre pattern.
    I have posted the pics a stage-by-stage pictorial.

    This process is completely reversible if you decide you want the factory pattern back.



    Anyone wanting theirs converted also, please send me a PM.

    Muz































































    Adding the finishing touches - felt to insulate against rubbing when installed back into the dash.










    D
    ash strips installed.







    L
    astly, a metallic silver 'MPS' decal will be added the the LHS of the passanger dash strip, for even more of a factory finish.
    GenII Mazdaspeed3 / MPS3 Luxury

    Looking good

    This is one of the first mod's everyone should do.

    I have even changed mine but I just purchased the silver one from Mazda (the sp25 one)

    I do not know why I have not heard of more people doing this as like you I hated the red/black panels.

    Have you got someone to do your sticker? I am still to get mine done but want to go the orange/red to match the mps logo in the tacho.

    This line of work is what I do day-to-day, so I will make the MPS logo myself.
    Would you like me to produce one for you? I only have one orange at the moment though.

    The trick is applying/conforming it and achieving a professional result...
