When i bought my NC eleven years ago it came with the piano black dash inserts, since then i purchased a second dash insert and painted it marble white which is my cars colour.
I like the white matching paint, personally.
Loving the red dash inserts with the chrome vent rings, however, what you did with the marble white paint (including the lower side panels) looks IMO more factory finish or OEM+ which is often difficult to achieve 
being a limited edition Icon model, it’s very much in keeping. It’s your car though Dave, not a massive job to swap out, you could give it a go? It’s reversible if your not happy with it

Noooooo, “KEEP IT WHITE” 
You did ask.
The white looks good imo. Do you have any photos from the outside that show how it looks with the car’s paint?
Looks just right in white.
My vote for white, very factory…
Another vote for white. Looks factory original and breaks up the dark dash nicely. I guess its personal choice though. 
I agree the white looks great a factory look. Could you hold or temporarily lay it over the top just to get an idea?
Or you could get a spare red mx5 to go with it 
Don’t encourage him!

I like the flocked one, very “on trend”.
In response to Sprig…a picture or two of the dash from the outside of my car.
Keep it white, Dave. It really looks OE, the red on the exterior is spot on… 
Good shout.
All you got to do now is flog the flockit!!
(Hopefully won’t get a yellow card wellll).
Flock will be coming off and dash put back under the stairs.
I know this was years ago but I am looking to do something with my awful wood effect dash. Where did you get the chrome vent rings from? Would make it so much easier to wrap. Thanks
