Default Who can make me a Fibreglass or mdf/wood console infill panel?

As title really, I have found a console that sort of fits the Firenza and need someone or a company that can make a panel to hold a radio and a location for a gear lever gaiter. I have the old plastic wood effect edging that could be of use to mould onto.. Any recommendations?? Ideally it would be someone who can take the car as the console looses rididity when unbolted so really needs to be in situ for the panel to be made.

If you were closer I could have fab'd that up easily for you. Custom interiors is going to be part of my new business after doing it as a hobby for a few years.

The dash is made from fibreglass and mdf (the centre console was just a mock up)




However , I do have a buddy that lives in Brum thats even better than me at this kind of stuff and works from home so doesn't charge the earth. Il pm you his number if your interested

I do but can't use them right now as the company that I did the work for haven't paid for the work and I'm currently taking legal action to recover payment and for the rights to use the pictures for my own company's promotional use.

I have a couple of shots of Paul's work so you can see the quality of his workmanship





Like I said , his work is better than mine as he's been doing it professionally for a while now.

Looks interesting, is it just the centre piece which needs fabricating up? if so seems pretty straight forward to me, the stereo and gear gaitor housing would be simple to make and I would think if it was retrimmed in the same leather fabric it would look oem. Weather or not you would want to customize it further would be your call and again a lot of options are available, either way the wood either side of the leather would look really nice.

Thanks for the recomendations guys
