Look at these pics that I just got from C5 Kidd
Brian has just finished my console mod and it should by now be winging its way back to England.
I went with the darker stitching to go with my Mag Red Vert. I'm very happy with the effect. Brian was worried about working with the thicker leather rather than the vinyl but to me even with a few natural imperfections, you can't beat the real thing.
I can't wait for the parts to arrive and to get them back into the car. Apart from anything else I'm getting witdrawal symptoms not being able to drive it.
I'll post up a thread when the console is back in the car

Now that's different! Fine Corinthian Leather. Dave you've done it now, you've opened Pandora's box as far as the rest of your interior is concerned. It's like buying a chrome oil fill cap (it's just the beginning!) I can see a theme started here.
