Centre console

[Steve61]

Hi
My centre console facia is the “matt chrome” option (plastic), but it’s beginning to look pretty shabby and it really bugs me!

I’ve tried restoring/cleaning it with everything you can think of, but I’ve come to the conclusion it’s just deteriorated with old age.

I’m thinking maybe hydro dip, wrap, stickers or replace, but prefer to avoid taking out the whole centre console, plus I have the same trim on the steering wheel and door cards that are okay.

Perhaps I should just live with it, any suggestions please?

Hmmm. That might be too far gone but before you do anything expensive try Armor All Protectant.
I've seen that stuff work miracles and it'll only cost you about £6 to find out.

Pop down to see the gal and guys at the ZedShed HQ and check out these:

Custom Z3 Centre Consoles

In the Zedshed today I decided to play around with Alcantara and Textured Carbon wrap on the centre console panels to see if we could make them look abit more modern. What do you guys think of them? follow my instagram if you want to see more! @holliewraps Black Alcantara Textured Carbon...

Usually I'm not a great fan of using anything other than specific car care products, but this really worked perfect on these bloody panels...

Thanks for the suggestions, I have some Armor All Protectant and it looks good for about 5 minutes!
I think wrapping is the way to go.

Only way to wrap it perfectly is to remove it im afraid and that means removing the centre console completely.... when youve got to that stage then you might as well get it professionally dipped or whatever you want

are these "sticker" kits any good?

Pardon our interruption...

if they are i was thinking of drawing up a vector file myself and then seeing if i can get a vinyl place to print and cut out the decals for me to fit.

no idea if any of it is possible!
