Very nice people car is near perfect. Agreed a few things with them so lets hope 355 berlinetta values soar laugh

Only thing is the centre consul has a panel where the leather has lifted a bit and I know this is common. I believe this has bee discussed here before but can anyone tell me where I can source one (Hofmanns will supply but don't know where to get one)

Hope the 458 and 355 will breed and produce a La Ferrarilaugh:thumbsup::hmmm:

Very sweet Bruce, congrats.

14 years and less than 8000 miles, I can't get my head round that!

I have ordered the part supplied by Hills Engineering. Its not exactly the same as it is a stick on plate £40.00 but it seems many have it and are happy. I am a little concerned that whilst it is functional it is not the same as the original. Can I have Kelly's contact details please

Bruce,

Nice partner for the 458 smokin

If you want a local guy to have a look at your centre consul try Carl at Carl Trim:

http://www.carltrim.co.uk/

He is based on Stock Road industrial estate. He was recommended to me when I needed a new seat panel on my Freelander and did a great job. Might be worth a fly by for a chat once you've called him (he is off site a lot working at dealerships) to see if he can do what you want.

Favourite car, very jealous. This would be the first car I would buy after I won the lottery - even now, still looks porno.
