I was looking for one for ages before I decided to just change the seats to 987 seats (much better) and am now changing everything inside to black. Once that job is all done I may revisit the idea of a console delete again. Except this time it will be a black one which will be a lot easier to source.

Mattman42 Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 if you are covering it with carpet anyway, surely it can't be that difficult to construct something to the right size and shape - Blue Peter style? Its tucked back so not like its going to be open to scrutiny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phazed Posted March 7 Author Report Share Posted March 7 Exactly what I said. I’m sure I could knock that up in a couple of hours with a bit of good quality 10 mm ply, some wood glue, a few panel pins, and a jigsaw. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBarediver Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 (edited) £130 with these guys.

My thoughts too, although I have the genuine kit, picked up here for £80, new & boxed, soon after I bought my car. Fortunately it was Metropole Blue to match my interior - if it had been black it might have been grabbed sooner. Reading through the thread I’ve just been thinking that a small sheet of bendy ply for the curved bits, 6mm mdf for the flat parts and epoxy to hold it together (a bit like a stitch & glue canoe) could easily produce the base to be covered in carpet like the original item. As Clarkson would say, “How hard can it be?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV8 Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 There is a little infill of plastic in front of the carpet that finishes it off. If you are doing it DIY and for people of a certain age, covering it in sticky back plastic, you could probably do without that but the genuine part needs that second plastic part.

Norbert Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Why not 3D print it? Here is the blueprint: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6163642 I just checked the price, it is between 70-150 depending on the plastic material. You can paint it, plasti dip it or cover it with carpet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked it out and their cheapest quote is £33.93 plus £7.66 shipping for ABS and most expensive is an eye-watering £39,296.92 and £42.58 shipping if you want it in Copper..

I think ABS is a good choice, it is also cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's carbon fiber reinforced plastic, it will be light and strong but it will still looks plastic. Unless you wrap it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
