Does anyone have a centre console / trinket tray fitted in their Roadster ? I'm fed up with losing my phone/wallet etc behind the seat. But I'm not keen on the prices from a couple of the usual sources. I fancy applying my modest cabinet-making skills and making one for my car -- I could probably figure-out the dimensions by practical measurement, but any dimensions would be appreciated. Thanks. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/01/13/Centre-console.md.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/01/13/Centre-console-fuzzy.md.jpg)

Thanks both.
Great colour-match Craig. And impressively modest outlay Jack, it would cost me WAY more than that just for the plywood !

Hi Peter, not from a Roadster, but here a pic from the box in my Plus 8. Looks a little different than the others and is the Kauffelt standard version. It is ok for the keys and an empty wallet - perfect if you spend the money for the box  ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2022/01/14/IMG_6453.md.jpg) It was already installed when i bought the car - lucky  BR Andreas

Looks good Andreas. Combines the hinged front section with an open rear coin tray. My original plan was some 6mm ply and a veneer to match the dash, then carefully applied/rubbed multiple coats of polyurethane varnish.

Peter, made this for my current Roadster a couple of years ago ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2018/09/03/20180823_181756_resized.md.jpg) If I did one again, I wouldn't bother with the step-out, makes it more complex just to gain 1/2" ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2018/11/19/20181116_113012_resized.md.jpg)

Nice job ! (it reminds me a lot of something off a model train layout). Next step is to get the car out of the garage again so I can gain access to the space between the seats, to measure everything properly in the transmission tunnel area.

Inspired by everyones tinkering, I've made this - it a basic plywood base on a couple of ally mounts, but it has two magnets in it so it will hold my mobile still when I'm driving ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2022/01/15/IMG_20220115_151235.md.jpg)
