I used the same white plastic cardboard to make interior panels for my Mini. Covered them with cloth instead of vinyl. They look good and will do until I can order a complete Newton interior.
Good to know. FYI I was mistaken and the newton interior does include the pocket liner cards covered in a vinyl to match.
The entire product looks amazing. Its really gonna make the car look outstanding.

Something else to try is a sheet plastic material. For dash cards, I used a styreen-like sheet maerial used for bus side advetising cards etc. Another product is Coroplast - tha plastic version of corrugated cardboard. It can be fairly stiff depending on which way the ribs run, and can be creased to fold. It is easy to cut, doesn't buckle easily, an the best part it is light and waterproof. I used water-based contact cement to apply the finish vinyl.

CORRECTION. I Rechecked my box of stuff from Newton. The pocket liners are the matte board covered in black vinyl.
Sorry everyone, to much paint fumes and dirty diapers.

Easy job to just use your old liners for a pattern and cut some new ones out of matte board. Find board that's thick enough to hold its shape but isn't too thick to bend, and score the bend lines to keep from breaking the board. I use a bone folder, but a rounded off screwdriver or a chopstick sharpened in a pencil sharpener and filed dull will work as well.

Interesting.... it says "panel" but is the entire kit just the vinyl coverings? Most Newton items will say "Special Order" because of the huge number of possible colors and details, but the more common items and colors are generally available in one restocking cycle which occurs every two weeks year round. In fact, most Newton interior items and kits are not that visible on the website.... something we should improve.... Perhaps we can show most items, say in black, and show the different color letter codes to give a good idea of what's available.

Hey Jamal, that looks about right.
I have purchased this kit from Newton and it came with the vinyl to recover. My "biscuits" were in OK shape, but worth replacing. The MiniMania site says they are special order, how long would it take to get?
Thanks
Will

I got your question from our "live chat" feature..... Yes we can get the standard liners, and they're not expensive, but you said you already had the "covers".... Not sure you can just get the cards! I suppose you could re-cover old ones! Her's the pair in 'Buscuit'... Different colors just have a different letter at the end of the part number:

Pulling more stuff out of my car in prep for paint and the rear pockets are lined with a fiberboard that starts at the front, w/ an hole for the ash tray and goes all the way down to the wheel well.
Basically looking for the part that mounts to the peice on the bottom left of this image
Do they still sell these?
