Hi,

I'm sure someone have already done it ages ago, but here's mine



Sorry for the quality of the pics as I was in a rush.

Looks very well made David. Do you have any pics of it installed?

Hi Kelvin,

Will have some pics taken over the weekend

Cheers,

David

Looks really nice, little bits like that make a lot of difference....

That looks great - good job

Wow that looks great!

That looks really really good!!!

that is very well done i didn't think i would like it

mate that looks so good, when you doing mine

Quality absolute! now do the centre consol

Dave

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the comments
The cost is around 75 quid and 1 week of waiting. I used to paint it quite often as if gets scratched very easily if you put coins or your keys there, now that'll take my mind else where...hmm...center console maybe

Cheers,

David

Looks very nice David

Waiting for pics as fitted.

Wow that is amazing.

As you all know my LE is as standard as possible. However I have really been wanting to do this to my console and all along there. Leather would just be such an improvement I think.

That is stunning!

group buy!

That looks stunning, very nice addition to the interior of any coupe, especially if the stitching was available in say, yellow, blue, grey etc to reflect the colour of the dash

i bought new gear and handbrake gaitors off ebay and they did pale blue stitching instead of red for me to match my porto

group buy x2!!!!

hmm very nice, there is absolutely nothing wrong with my center console but I would say it would still be a great improvement. I'd have a set with blue stitching, defo.
I would also be in for that group buy

Certainly look like its been done well.

I have to say though that I'm going to buck the trend and say its not to my liking.

Fair play to improving the console though!

i'm looking forward to seeing this fitted.
i have found a company not too far from my work who do custom interiors so I'm going to see how much they would charge to do similar

Thanks for the comments guys
As I've sealed up the rear ashtray with leather as well (broken ashtray hinge), so I'll need to reinforce it with carbon fiber and resin in order to complete the job. I'll post pic of the progress and the installed pic later

Cheers,

David

This is the inside of the rear ashtray, as said, I'm reinforcing it with carbon fiber just to be sure it doesn't get kicked in by the rear passengers.

This is how it looks after sealing it up

Will take more pics after installing it back it. I'm waiting for the new hand brake sleeve...

I want one!

Hi guys,

Just received the felt hand brake sleeve so I've fitted the whole thing:

Before fitting it onto the car

Fitted


I've requested the shop to use a spongy like fabric for the centre part of the console so that it won't be scratched easily if I put keys or coins in it.

The perfect answer to the centre console issue, no more trying to clean the rubber off and repaint, and then repaint later when it gets all scratched again. Like it a lot.

Group buy is a good idea, the hoses weren't enough, David, we want leather!

Brilliant work - definitely interested in a Group Buy

looks lovley!
i must say, the carbon wing mirror switch looks good too!

i may do that to mine just for the hell of it!!

Does anyone have any idea who might do this in the UK?

I'd imagine that company who have been recovering gear knobs and steering wheels would do it. Can;t remember what their name is just now though....
