Many thanks to K Baggs Trimming in Poole, Dorset for the leather trim on the roll bars to finish off the interior.
I was at Baggs today having part of my Corvette seat replaced and they said they'd had an Ultima in. Great service - these guys really care. Highly recommendedim surprised more people haven't used bespoke 3d drawing and then printing where the only obstacle is your imagination and design skills. I appreciate that some will want the traditional kit car / race car look however.
I have 37 separate 3d drawings and print cad files for my interior which becomes more OEM style as time passes. I also have used carbon dipping. the qualities of the material nowadays is more than better than ABS plastic where required and all parts over 3 years usage.

I can't remember where I stated or put up pictures of the individual parts..... I suppose the starting point is invest in 3d drawing/design software if you want totally original parts or get a 3d scanner to copy and alter slightly what's in oem cars... A good starting point would be to make the dash a lot more 3d as per oem cars which is simply done by adding printing parts to a square dash to make it more 3d and then covering..... All a bit blue Peter but great results can be obtained..
3d printing pricing is based on volume of material so the key s to hollow where possible and integrate strength points on parts where needed.
Finishing is key of 3d parts to make them just like bmw quality..
Big parts can be printed as two or three or infinite and joined..... I wonder how long before someone prints a whole car design body as individual parts and gluing and finishing...?

In the USA thats known as a baseball stitch and to do it right the trimmer uses one long thread, very impressive and I agree it really finishes it off!Many thanks to K Baggs Trimming in Poole, Dorset for the leather trim on the roll bars to finish off the interior.

Just gone back to this thread for interior ideas, love yours.
I like the more functional design and layout which means you can concentrate on driving the car not trying to remember if you switched the indicators off ( I had that problem in my road legal Radical).
I like the less minimalist, which of course some people prefer, and more production based look.
If you are going to the factory day or any other days in the Midlands or the North I'd love to see it in the flesh.

Thank You Ult-Jim
That is a beautiful job and probably silences a few creeks & vibrations that would otherwise be part of the cabin atmosphere.
Simple, clean rather than the garish attempt just shown below your pics.
Thanks for the above shots. The stitching is more than adequate w/o taking the car apart again.
