I read this thread and immediately cried..... Yes I ordered a finer liners console cover in the carbon effect.... Oh dear.

But.... It arrived and I was convinced it would fit.. It appears Evan realised the rhd lhd problem and actually sent my a trim cover for a rhd car!!!!

Awesome.


Loved this thread tho, and looks awesome when finished...

We do mate! I'm just trying to think how we get around the fact we have carpet and not a leather console to bond it to...

Anyone got any suggestions?

I didn't bond it to the leather guys! I bonded the material to some thin interior foam (You can get it from your local trimmers) - It has one side plain foam and the other reinforced with mesh. I just used some interior trimmers spray adhesive and bonded the two together (my dinner table now needs sanding down and varnishing though . If I had just bonded the fabric to the leather it would have shown up all the textures etc.....not good.

I just placed this laminate over the existing leather for extra 'plumpness'(is that a word?) Totally reversible.

If you want the fabric I have left I will put up a FS thread - Just PM me.

Back on Sunday - Cheers

Chris, cheers for the info...I'll look into a local place, any ideas what I search for? Coachwork Trimmers or something else?

Tom, we definitely need to do this asap, I've gliptoned the seats today so the centre tunnel looks dirty and horrible compared to the seats!

Chris, is the foam about 5mm in thickness? I'm just looking around to see where I can get some from.

Cheers,

Alex

Update:

I jumped on the bandwagon with this and have to agree with Chris, it looks great! It was a bit fiddley to get the cover cut down to the correct size but I got there in the end so here's the result to give you an idea what it looks like with a red interior...
