I purchased the leather console cover with 1/2" foam pad from
www.22elite.com (James is a supporting vendor here and goes under the name Aspendog). I was thinking about this mod for a long time cuz my elbow has been getting pretty chafed from the hard plastic/rubber cover that DC supply the car with. I wish I would have done the mod from the beginning. They leather is soft and durable. The cover fit way better than expected I would say it's a 100% perfect fit. The thread and seems are perfectly aligned and there are no wrinkles at all. There is no way anybody can tell this was not part of the original equipment. I went with the light slate cover and matching stitching and it blend beautifully. This makes the center console look like one complete unit. Now I have a nice soft place for my elbow to rest and a huge improvement in looks.
EXCELLENT WORK 22ELITE !!
Total cost including $30 carriage to Britain, armrest cover, glue & foam is £60 (nearer £55 if you already have the glue).
A top job.
This is what the car looks like after finishing

p.s. I c&p'd most of the text from shanemcse as I thought that some Brits may have missed the thread and the picture is from
Todd RT - I'll get a picture of Arnie in RHD form ASAP.
