RG5384,
That's really quite a number of times you removed your console! I only took it out once, with the intention of changing the "Zebrano" wood panel to the "Walnut" type, but I figured that if I do so, I'll have to change those across the entire dash as well (which I'm not too sure how to do it). Gave up the idea eventually.....
Regards,
Mervyn
