I made my own with some thick foam and some vinyl material that matched the original. I will freely admit that it's nowhere near as nice as one of Matts' and it's obviously not leather, but it's functional and cost next to nothing.


LRA I too did a home-made cubby lid conversion that I was truly pleased with as it had 'form and functionality' and I am possibly the only person that truly realises the effort of your workmanship. I was proud of mine too but had my bubble burst somewhat unceremoniously when I sent it off for a bespoke refurb.

Thumbs Up Laughing

I did a £10:50 refurb of my lid some considerable time ago putting extra padding in the lid and using an offcut of charcoal leather.

Thanks for all the input, the £95 price is the same for all the World and no forum discount?

Cheers

These are the same price to everyone

We try and keep our prices as competitive as possible (we are considerably cheaper than the 'big boys') and we do offer 'incentives' on larger orders (free leather cleaner, leather conditioner, keyrings, install tools etc) as well as 'Sponsoring' the forum and organising forum competitions from time to time (last prize was £300 worth of cubby box)

Thank you for your interest Bow down

I will definitely order, but not until next week, as my 110 is stored at my house in the country and I won't be there until next week, what options do I have as to colour or style, I only really want to match what I have. The vehicle is a Sept 2011 110 2.4D XS in Sumatra Black with part leather Ebony cloth. The cubby box is the one with the 2 cup holders that you see in all the brochures

Thanks

Shaun
