the newer model 407 centre console is piano black and looks waaaay better, could be worse they could have tried to make the plastic look like wood :shock:

Looks like a music centre.... I used to think the "wood" in my D8 really was wood, until someone complained, I reckon as fake wood goes it's actually quite good fake wood (boom!). I'm used to it now anyway, and have no desire to paint it Christmas decoration silver. Besides, I've seen far worse, albeit with younger eyes...

I have a feeling the reason that a lot of car dashes these days are looking pretty tacky is because it's all got to be recyclabubble. Wood's fairly recyclable, can be chewed up and made into chip board, paper, egg cartons, whatever, so I s'pose we should be thankful the whole dash isn't made out of the stuff :shock:
