Tunnel Cover

I want to make the tunnel cover as clean looking as poss. I thought of using those plastic clips they use on door panels etc. through the aluminium cover and then cover the whole thing in the same leatherette I am using for the rest of the trim. That would leave a nice clean finish, but what are thoughts on whether it would be good enough and last?

Cheers.
JB





It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......
