Plexus Neutral Newbie January 8, 2009 Share January 8, 2009 Hey all, Had this anti-slip mat on my altis 08 center console of the dashboard. Just yesterday, I decided to remove it and realized it stained (rubber marks) the plastic portion of the console (the smooth surface that's attached as a piece with the aircon and hazard light). Tried to clean it but guess the solvent was too strong and now, the colour of the console faded Called BM and they quoted me close to $300 to get the console plastic replaced (they say must replace whole set, including those near the aircon / radio panel) and it takes 4 to 6 weeks to order the parts! Anyone can advice if there's anywhere else I can get the console replaced? It's just the top portion only... Attach stock image for reference. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably few dollars and looks cools too.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidcks 1st Gear January 8, 2009 Share January 8, 2009 Or get some soft toys to place over that area. Bcos the area affected it quite central, I think can find many cheap solution. No point paying so much $$ to replace it. Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the faded portion was gone and the original colour came back??? How could it be possible? Yeah, trying to ignore it as much as possible but i really hate to see it this way!

Dwoon 1st Gear January 9, 2009 Share January 9, 2009 Sticker over the entire panel? Like what some do for their bonnets? Can give JJ Decal a call to see if James can fix it. He's good at customising these stickers. When I was there, I saw a roll of 3M carbon fibre material which is textured. Looks & feels very good..... http://www.jj-electric.com.sg/home.htm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahgong Supercharged April 10, 2014 Share April 10, 2014 yep. either CF the portion, or go scrapyard to find a replacement. I recently went to the one at Defu lane. they got quite a good selection. much neater to walk into than the ones in woodlands~! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
