Default Atlas Grey Console on the way

Thanks Eric. How difficult is the install. Is this something I could do myself. Any instructions around these sites.

It's very easy to remove the center console.

The install is very easy. Actually the disassembly of the "glovebox" hing is the most difficult.

I just got mine back from paint (not from Eric but a local shop, no offense Eric). And it all went back together in maybe 20 min.

If you have a black center console the silver paint is one of the best upgrades to the interior look out there. I love mine.

It did look stunning. Atlas is a very interesting color, and the piece for the interior will take on a life of its own once installed.

Send before/after pics!

Doug,

Looking forward to some photos as I would love to see what it looks like in the car.

I dont want to go down the AS path for the centre console as I believe it will clash with the Aluminium/Leather Handbrake - Gear**** combo. Therefore I am thinking for doing the Basalt Black centre and upper centre console surround - bad idea ?

Regards
Arthur

ps you mailbox is full - been trying to pm you for a while now too
