Sorry for the imminent thread hijack, but FAO Flamez; where did you get the edging trim used for your centre console? I could do with some of that, if you would be so kind!!

The trim is large rubber u trim and the brush material is a dismantled letterbox draught excluder from B&Q

Sorry, should have been more specific! I actually meant the smooth-edged, right angle along the top and side sections of the centre console.

Having said that, I have taken on board the letterbox suggestion! Do you know if it's IVA proof, or would I need a gaitor?

mine is also offset, this was done by mistake by dad but actually worked out to give slightly more arm room! a bit like jack_t but not quite as obvious
