Carpet I've never done but have seen amazing results (on the internet) done using a spray can.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Good news - I found a second hand console delete at a great price
Bad news - it's terracotta
Can I just pull that vile brown carpet off and stick some black carpet on instead ? Or is that going to be more trouble than it's worth ?
If it means paying someone to do it, we're straight into 'more trouble than it's worth" territory and it stops being a bargain !
I'm aiming more along the lines of spare floor mat + spray glue.
Maybe a bit of vinyl wrap ? Awkward shape though.
Recolouring vinyl is easy - prep well and paint with acrylic paint. You don't need an expensive kit. Carpet I've never done but have seen amazing results (on the internet) done using a spray can. Probably ok as you don't 'walk" on it. Worth a try?
Base model early boxsters had the delete kit.
A great cheap source!
Just paint it?... paint your whole console?
Source a piece of your colour carpet to match in.
Hmm, dye might be a good shout, I'd initially dismissed it.
If it works, great. If it doesn't, I was going to scrap the carpet anyway, so no big deal.
And if it
does
work, the carpet behind the rear seats is a bit faded so I can do that too.
I'll try some dye !
i would try the carpet dye and should be cheap easy
just get some plastic paint for the rest of it. as said give it a light rub down and add some dark primer then plasy paint on top. you can get it in spray format
most of them have built in primer so it should be just spray on.
Right, I have ordered some of this:

I was swayed by this part of the description:
"
Gloves and masks should be worn when using this product
"
If you need PPE, it's probably good s**t
Minor correction, it was actually boxsterrot. And it was an almost perfect match to my garage floor !
I tried the dye, it was a waste of time. It made it a darker red, not black, and was very obvious when placed next to the original carpet. And it's more like paint than dye, so once there's a few coats applied it starts to build up and makes the pile of the carpet all crusty.
I pulled the old carpet off. Very easy.
I considered painting it, or wrapping with vinyl but for expedience I ended up covering it with some dark grey felt I had in stock. It would be better in black of course, but it's not totally offensive like this, and although I'd like to change it, now it's back in the car I think "CBA" will win.
