   right i asked this when saxp was down, but didnt get to see the replys before it was wiped off.
   
   is there anything u can buy, like a cover, that you put on the center console, kind of like a, phone cover,
   
   so u can change the colour that way, as im not to sure if ill like it so dont wanna spray it all then have to buy a new one.
   
   cheers in advance,

   there is them crappy stick on colour things you can buy, you can get them off eBay but they look real shit, look much better sprayed IMO. can't think of anything else you can do to change the colour or anything. serpose you could take it out....then say re-trim it in material...not sure how you could go about doing this or anything though!

   There are kits that you can buy that stick onto your centre console and side vents. They come in different colours and even wood effect . You can usually find them on Ebay.
   
   EDIT: You beat me to it Baz

   just buy a spare from a scrappy and spray that, that way if you mess up you still have the original in your car

   Why not buy a replacement centre console on ebay or your local scrappy, they wont set you back much, then you can spray that one... but keep your original so that you can always revert back to standard...
   and if you fit your sprayed one and you like it, then you can just sell your old one.. :Y:

   if you dont feel confident spraying it yourself look for an already painted one on ebay should be a few on there

    I think geting a centre console from the scrap yard and spraying it would be the best option. It's not that difficult to do and you can get everything you need from Halfords.
    
    The stick on bits look tacky and will peel off after a while...I don't think they are that cheap either when you add on P+P.

    i got a spare centre console and side vents (mint condition too) from my local scrappy for £5 in total!!! then sprayed it myself in posi blue! looks good. dont think much of the stick on vinyls though! think these would be harder to use aswell IMO!

    looks like the scrappy ideas the best,
