Center console ideas
Has anyone built a center console to house a single DIN head unit and a couple of cup holder/pockets as I have plans for the existing hole for the stereo, Im thinking of building one myself but still want to be able to use the walk through to, well walk through, Im after ideas on fixing it down and materials anyone got any pics or ideas.
Cheers, Mark

Re: Center console ideas
Projektzwo repro centre console (short) £50
Same as these but with thicker moulding and room for 52mm gauges/single din stereo
http://shop.vw-winkler.de/product_info. ... --raw.html
The centre console is LHD but can be easily modified to suit RHD.
Comes unfinished in bare GRP. Easy to attach brackets. Optional recessed cupholders available.
They look great trimmed in vinyl/leather.
£120

Re: Center console ideas
It never fails to amaze me how much some companies charge for fibreglass bits, yes the original has to be made then a mould etc etc, but come on £120

Mike your not wrong its shocking, hoping to build mine cheaply out of ply and then cover it in somehow.It never fails to amaze me how much some companies charge for fibreglass bits, yes the original has to be made then a mould etc etc, but come on £120

Sure thing! Goes without saying!
I'm planning to make one inbetween the front seat, with a flip top compartment, cup holders etc. Lots to do before I get round to that though!
