Richard, as I understand it that ugly panel is on top of the tunnel whether you have leather or not. But you can have it in wood.
Yes but thoughts are if the sides be they carpet or leather and a matching leather top would soften the sharp edges. I guess the angularity of the tunnel shape is a necessary sop to chassis integrity though.
It does look nicer in wood but a sharpish edge as you say John. B & C Lagoon Blue Manual. Auto and alloy wheels needed I like the colour but perfect would be Sport Green/ Connaught with tan trim.
