Hey, The Whole Centre Console In My Ea Looks Like Poo, The Whole Thing Is Faded And Looks Like Its Scratched, I Have Noticed That This Is A Pretty Common Thing Among The Ea's , So Does Any Body Know How To Get It Looking A Little Better?

replace it with a later one, you really cant just "fix" them
i presume yours is the one without the console lid as the later ones werent so prone to scrapeing... |

If you were feeling 'artistic' you could use a filler of some description that adheres to plastic/vinyl, sand it back smooth, paint it any colour you want, then gloss it, and then get the lid re-upholsted in leather/suede/whatever.

as parawolf said.. fix up the one you have
You can actually get a 'texture coat' paint, that goes on before the primer and colour. It will hide the scratches etc and leaves it in close to a factory finish. You'll find people use it on bumber bars etc.. Don't forget the adhesive promoter though ![]()
