Trimming centre console & radio bezel
Trimming centre console & radio bezel
I've picked up a set of leather trim from Redline Goods in the states for covering the centre console and the radio bezel. I'm aware that doing the instrument cluster is a right bitch of a job (that's on the list to-do). Just wondering if anyone's either done something similar themselves or knows someone who has, and has tips/advice for the job?
Re: Trimming centre console & radio bezel
if its a set it should be easy. just pop it on with some contact adhesive.
If its just some raw cow ar*e and you have to cut a sew then... its a pig of a job, but not impossible.
I wouldnt want to do it again though.

Re: Trimming centre console & radio bezel
If you are talking about doing the instrument cowl you can buy the leather cover on ebay. Take your time fitting it and you will get a good finish.

Re: Trimming centre console & radio bezel
I did my own in black leather, but it is a Mk3 and pretty easy to do...did one for a friend also. I don't mind having a go at a Mk1..

Re: Trimming centre console & radio bezel
I'm tempted to do this myself! Those topline ones don't look half bad, I have had their gearlever/handbrake gaiters in the past.

Well worth the £40 Top Gaiters charge for the leather cowel cover. No more glare on the windscreen
Not sure how it would look in orange though Lance Mind you i`m sure they would do orange stitching if you wanted.

If I were to go with one, it would be in black leather, the bottom of my door cards are black and I think it would look better that way!
