Having finished the dashboard, I decided to replace
the gear lever surround with one made of MDF and covered with vinyl
so it matched the design of the dash. That looked good so I
thought I better do the same for the tunnel cover. But then I
realised I actually grab hold of that when I enter and leave the
car, and I also lean my elbow on it while driving. So an MDF based
one with sharp edges would be very uncomfortable. So I decided to
stick with the existing carpet covered stainless steel covered in
vinyl.
And I had some vinyl left over so just to really finish the interior off I decided to do the armrests as well.
This what they used to look like, black plastic and after 9 years beginning to look a bit scruffy. So covered them with the spare vinyl:

And the 'final' completed look is this.
Very pleased with the result.

Took her out for a run and she feels great. Also, for the first time in 4 years I can see the trip meter on the speedo (My viewing 'hole' on the cluster is larger than the original).
