Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I bought a spare one of these from ebay recently and have had mine done in Seal Grey (fitted by Sid from RSJ last weekend) and it looks great :thumbs:
Leading evidence: 'Install by sid' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Install by sid' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

Hi Guys n Gals
I have been toying with the idea of painting the centre console in Arctic Silver so when I saw one for ale on eBay, I thought i`d have a go.
Here`s what the original looked like
As you can see, it was just the normal blue to match the metropole.
It was not too bad to remove, with the help of some instructions from Damian ( thanks again mate ) although there are some well hidden screws.
Here`s the new piece
Anyway, took about half an hour and then another half an hour to switch the lock and oddments lid, swap all the retention clips and refit the fabric sides.
You need to be pretty careful not to scratch the paint on the new console as it`s pretty tricky to get it under the front console and around the handbrake but with a little care......
I think it brightens up the interior no end and I may do a couple of other bits but we`ll see how it goes.

Great job!
I had mine done in Lapis blue, it really lifts the interior. I especially love the view when you open the door and see the continuation of the bodycolour inside the car.
Slightly o/t, my handbrake is slightly fouling on the front of the slot since it was fitted- do I need to remove the entire console to adjust the fore/aft of the handbrake, or can I access the bolts by removing the side panel?
Did you move it during fitting ?
Mine stayed where it was and I haven`t noticed any fouling. I think you could access it by the side panel but couldn`t be sure.
I might do my spare one Lapis and see what that looks like.
I might actually start doing a few and selling them via the bay. There seems to be a market for them.
Steve
the sub is in the back, no where near the centre console.......... :?
anyone know if the artic silver colour matches the ali pack, or is that a different colour?
