Hello - my centre console and handbrake area seems to have become beyond help - it's all sticky and peeling and generally looking pretty shabby. Is it easy to get replacement parts or alternative remedies? Cheers

Thanks - paint shop could be a good shout also I'd be interested in doing a parts dip (I've seen some good results) - anyone know any companies round the Guildford way that do this sort of thing? Sprayers or otherwise? Good on the wallet too...

I'm going to get mine dip in carbon. Theres a company just up the road from me in high Wycombe who does it and I've seen the quality of work he does.

I'll be honest and say I won't be getting it done for a few weeks as I'm on holiday in 2 weeks.
Go to Facebook and search prospect vehicles LTD creative vehicle concepts and there's pics of what he can do

Dipped was my decision: £80 for the above. And.....add another couple of hours to the time it will take you if you are following the How To Guide when it comes to removing/re-fitting. And.... get the swear jar at the ready as it's a complete bugger of a job to get done.

Did mine in a day, including replacing the heater tap whilst the console was out. The cleaning of the gunk was easy with a rag and Methylated Spirits. The satin finish on the polyurethane paint is good and looks very original.

looks nice chap, !! I had mine done in a alloy wheel refurbing place near Zurich airport - Prices were V. high - but it needed alot of work. after Very carefully installing it (ensuring no scratches during the re-build)I was Super happy with the result, So much so I decided to get the "Spare" B Pillars covered, and will be stripping the "Spare" wing Mirrors - for the stems (arms) and base plate to be carbonised - the outer pods will remain the silvery grey LE colour. Might install some Leds in the plastic flash. more stripping and rebuilding to do - in the persuit of styling happiness R00

Here's another alternative so long as you have a soft brush attachment for your hoover and don't mind using it occasionally to keep it looking tip-top. Flocked

I was looking at doing my consoles body colour, but had a very good price quoted on flocking. So that's what I'll go for. Maybe I'll buy another couple of sets of consoles and do one in body colour and one dipped in "carbon". Then I could swap them around depending on the occasion... excellent! an interior for all occasions and tastes

Whereabouts are you in Perth, Hoops? My brother lives in Lesmurdie... No way! I live in Peppermint grove so a little way away from LM but its all much of a muchness over there. No fiat coupes but i've been looking at some old lampredi engined fiat 124s recently as they have survived in the desert climate alot better in WA than they fared in Europe.
