So it turns out that piece is something the fabricated in place of the factory ‘console’. Apart from extra bling I think it might offer better serviceability / visibility, but either way it’s nice to have a custom piece. Didn’t ask for it (but we didn’t have the factory part to hand) so assume it’s a trial of some sort!

Once the correct bolts are ordered it will be polished and fitted off properly, soft brake lines, pedal box and gauges fitted and it’s off to the auto elec to get wired up.

You’re all so mean...

As an update the custom console was needed as none of the factory items fit due to 3.6 in IB car unless you cut and re-weld the rear engine mount bar which they didn’t want to do as I got a spunky one from Patrick. Also the relief holes are so you can replace a broken belt without removing anything. The piece was hand cut as it was a prototype but would be hydrocut ordinarily.

@StevepGT3 lol.  So true and a great analogy.  As for the rest of youse FFS can we get some consensus!  I think Sea & Leaf Green and Sand Beige are out for me.  Auratium is a more modest shade of green than Jade, which depending on my mood is both good and bad.  Aubergine is really doing it for me and I can't wait to model Albert Blue for another dark option.  I love Summer Yellow, as I do Light Yellow, but it has more cream and less 'acid', but LY was an RSR colour...Stone Grey.  I've been moist about this colour for a while now.  

So as you can see this is an exercise in entertainment rather than decision making!
