If you look in a Halfords or similar it's a packet for cleaning interior trim - can't remember exactly what it said, but you should find something appropriate quite easily - the grime on the interior of the mohair (mine's a light grey colour) pretty much wiped off immediately.

Thanks. I picked up some simoniz upholstery wipes from halfords. I'll give them a try next time I have the hood up.

I had the first service on the Roadster today & got the new Motolita steering wheel fitted ( at last waiting )
Much better looking than the standard. Two problems arise, however:
The lovely polished alli of the centre reflects in the screen.
The end of the plastic cowling is now in full view. frown
Oh well...

What's your mileage now Ian? Is the car delivering the performance expected?

1200 miles to date. Must work harder at that drive

The steering is infinitely better than it was when new. Much lighter & more positive. Definitely better than the Mk1 Roadster with wires ( even if the alloys don't look so good love )

The gearbox is probably the worst bit. First is much too low & second can be a bit tough to engage ( but that may well improve with use). The other four gears are fine. Third & forth are the ones to play in evil

The engine doesn't feel as free revving as the Mk 1, but it is early days...
The car doesn't feel as quick as the Mk1, but when you look at the speedo you realise it is. It just gets there so effortlessly.

A very different animal to the Mk1, but certainly no regrets!

I fitted a leather sleeve over the boss to stop the reflections, from a supple leather offcut from E-Bay. MiniKeefy has the other one! There was only enough pre-stitched leather to make two.

That's an idea. I'd thought about spraying the boss matt black. But I also need to do something about the end of the cowl. It's no where near as smart as yours envy

I have the same wheel and boss (black painted boss was an option, I prefer the polished ally) but suffer no unwanted reflections on my 2011 Roadster - I wonder if the cowl is shorter on the 3.7 thinking previous owner trimmed raw edge on mine with some black piping.

Numog, I have a new Roadster heading my way, so I'm very interested in the various tweaks.... What exactly have you done there? Fitted yourself?

I like the indicator stalks... Easy to fit?
