Centre Console Re-cover

[Weo]

Hey all,

Made a "How to" a while ago about taking off the centre console and spraying it up. I didnt lacquer mine and it looked S**t, luckily I found this fabric at work (borrowed it) so thought I would have a go at wrapping it.

Heres how it looks now. I am chuffed, think it looks really good, all i used to stick it was a £3.08 can of spray adhesive from B&Q, used for sticking carpet tiles down etc....









Good and Bad Comments welcome

Will.

Is it got a fluffy finish to it???

 

[Weo]

it does =)

it is similar to Alcantara

Looks remarkably good!

You can get alacantra by the meter on fleabay, as well as perforated leather (fake but looks the biz)

I would try that if i had a spare console facia

impressed by the fit/finish there :thumbup:

i think i would have gone for a slightly different colour as the one used in those shots dont show it up too well - but still i like it :thumbup:

hmm not 100% sure tbh. love the fact ur doing something different i just think it looks like the climate control buttons etc are getting lost, its hard to explain. not bad tho

 

[Weo]

It is getting lost as it fitted behind the console due to the fabric being wrapped through the hole and Roy, this is the darkest of this type of material

I really like it. I think it blends in too well though, it probably stands out more when you see it in the flesh. I love the top console piece though.

Loiks very good matey, im thinking of getting the centre console painted black along with air vents and the strips liquid yellow but unsure of how the centre console trim comes off.. Any help appriciated.

Search for my how to thread, basic, gently prise off the dash strips (2 either side of centre console) then remove climate control suround and radio (must be disconnected and removed) then gently start at the top of centre console and pull away, 2 clips in line with climate control and 2 just under radio, just pull them off, then disconnect the stop/start button and hazards/door lock and your done

Wow, I love it!

Adds that premium feel and look to the car. Very good job mate.

Not bad...not bad at all...

Great fit and finish mate. Not so keen on the material though, looks a little like carpet?

Good job though :thumbsup:

 

[Jordan46]

So radio has to come out does it for the centre console trim to come off?

 

[Giles]

looks like you did good job there.

 

[Weo]

Sorry for late replies, no it's not carpet lol, I work for a company who makes car fabric interior, this is material from work, just an off cut that was being binned, and yes the radio has to come out before the trim will pull away from the dash

Awesome job there dude. Makes a big difference to how the interior looks.
