Centre Console Trim Plug - £30??? - Really??

Post by Sigmaf » Sun Feb 13, 2022 11:01 pm

Evening all,

Whilst cleaning the car out tonight, noticed one of the centre console plugs were missing.

Quick check online....£30???

Any ideas on where to source for a non-lottery winner price?

Thanks for the thread tag :thumbsup:

Still have a few of these available (printed ones). Let me know if you still want? I generally do 6x covers for £8 (can do more or less depending on your needs).

Cheers :)

Thanks for the offer!

Forgot we had a couple of 3D printers in the office, so have run a couple off!

In a pinch you can use the two covers at the back of the centre console, they are normally completely covered by the seats. You can only see them by bringing the seat and seat back as far forward as possible.
Insane price for OEM.

It might be worth asking "kis" if he still has any.

Failing that there are also a couple of people on here breaking cars at the moment.

Ta-da! You speak the devils name and he shall appear! :rofl:

Still have some, but just beige/cream ones. Although if you still have some. It could be worth moving those ones to the front section of the centre console as mentioned. Then pop some 3D printed ones in the back.

A quick blast with some black plastic spray and none would be the wiser (particularly if they’re right at the very back of the centre console). Afaik when the seat is in a normal sitting position you can’t see the rear ones, only a small section of the front ones.

Pm me if you want beige? :thumbsup:

Welcome to the forum.
When you get a moment we would love to see an intro in the Newbie section, with some pics of your zed.
In the meantime, I'll reference umfaan, street, bigwinn, and GenZed. They should see this post and hopefully one will be able to help you.
