Hi thanks James, on the C6 i meant the centre 'tunnel' with the arced wooden form , the gearstick surround. Not the actual console! I've seen that and it looks a mess right enough. The C5 one is a bit better as it's had dials for temperatures but the 'telematics' panel below it is a buttonfest of ever you saw it
The 480 looks great! Years ago my Ex's dad had a black one that I occasionally got to drive short distances. Only fault I recall was the headlight motors going nuts
I'll post pics up some time but I'm preoccupied with the faults (the car hadn't earned its photo shoot yet

)
