Centre Console colours?

[ronwest]

Does anyone know what colours the au centre consoles are?

Is it "Dark Graphite" for black interiors and grey for grey interiors or are there variations?

[JC]

Dark graphite and graphite, IIRC.

Oops. Looks like there are afew colours:

Dark Graphite
Med Graphite
Light Graphite
Warm Charcoal

I'm 99% sure "Warm Charcoal" is the black you see in AU2/3. Dark Graphite is what switches are made of, I think?

Bugger, I thought it was the other way around.

Well can anyone tell me what colours are what?

[JC]

Your console is black, and the rest is 2 different shades of grey.

Centre Console is AU2 Warm Charcoal
Seats look like AU2 ones too which is weird?

You also have an EL2 XR8 MOMO Steering wheel, very rare

[private9]

Your seats and door trims (and I'm assuming console) are from an AU3 Futura, meaning I think it's all warm charcoal.

And yep, that Momo wheel is hell rare - wanna swap for a warn plastic one!

[ClassicAU]

Seats and trims look familiar, they may be the same as my Futura Classic, can't really tell. That steering wheel looks like an EL XR8 Momo option wheel as mentioned. Its basically the same as ours, but all black. My mate has one in his EL XR8. Maybe I should have taken up his offer for a swap after all! :P

Is that a better shot of the steering wheel? Is it an EL2 Momo wheel? Is that why the airbag doesnt look to fit 100%? And to think... i would have swapped that for the AU Blue/Black Momo... lol

[Mechan1k]

So ... what is the colour of the centre dash surround on AU2's ... is that the dark graphite????? I know the rest of mine is Warm Charcoal.

[ClassicAU]

You most definitely have yourself there an EL2 XR8 Momo wheel. The red stiching gives it away. I had no idea they were so rare. The only two EL2's I have ever been in both had them! You should probably hold onto that one I would say.

you can get a black ( warm charcol) airbag to match your wheel

Or the cheaper option is to spray it satin black using VHT vinyl spray.

Not really, 6 months so far and not a sign of problems yet from the last spray (changed the colour as it was wrong).
And before that another 6 months went by with no problem on the original colour

Cheers

I'm thinking about removing it while its still in good condition... as i want the AU one... so am thinking about a swap with airbag in the right colour... but if its rare... should i park it and sell for a little more? i think i better take a very close look at its condition and decide then...

[The_Ghost]

I would hold onto it for a while longer yet.Havent seen one like that in my travels.

Cheers mate, i'll consider upgrading it and wrapping it up for a while... you never know what can happen and who'll pay out the nose for one :

Oh and btw to everyone... this is one of the best pieces of news i have ever heard of from the car... :
