Mine is currently used underneath the boards to tidy it up at the far end where the boot is. You can just see it curling up on one of the pics

Thanks Danny, I suppose you could use it for retrimming door cards, but I wouldn't personally, leather or suede 
very good point, suede could be good

Got sick of the MDF boards rubbing and bouncing around when driving, so armed with some spare time and some spray paint, I carried out this:
In primer:

Really need those buckets to finish off the inside

Side pic from other day:
MFD facia colour coding
Had a flickering LED in my MFD display, working one minute off the next so I thought "Right I'm gonna have that fecker"
Fixed the LED and thought, hmm I have some arden blue spray, wet n dry, primer and some turps laying about. While it's off I'll get spraying
I like subtle touches of colour coding, just needs laquer now which I'll do tomorrow, what ya reckon?

After colour coding my MFD fascia in arden blue, I decided to colour code the dial surround from my sport. The pics don't justify the shine, but i'm well chuffed with it. Just waiting on my new perspex cover now as mine is cracked.
What ya reckon?
cheers campers

Fair comment mate, I love it. Not over the top, just subtle hints. Will get some interior pics soon.
Meanwhile, after ages and ages of waiting the oil temp gauge turned up and now I have the lot to hopefully get fitted on Thurs 3rd July
Here is the A-pillar and gauges:
Same as my sport dials 
And another pic of the car.
To say I had an MR2 turbo before this, I have grown quite attached to this little shopping trolley
Just can't wait to get the gauges fitted
Ta for looking!

Cheers mate, go for it Demon Tweaks is your friend
I had to wait ages for that oil temp gauge though, only set of gauges they had that were relatively cheap and matched my sport dials
