when we rarely get that yellow ball in the sky i seem to suffer from reflections on the silver/chrome centre console which at times tends to blind me ..
any solutions to this other than replace it with a black piano one [powerfuluk] or maybe wrap it in black gloss wrap....

Poseur sunglasses?  It's "bébéchoon", ackcherly, with accents. 'Steve' to my chums.
20 years ownership of Solihull products, ALL GONE NOW, sniff!

I would have loved to get mine in the same Prussian blue wood inserts as I have across the rest of the car. Nobody will do it and more pertinently, even as gloss black or anything with a shiny surface it will always reflect. Unless you're going matt black you're pretty snookered.

i was thinking the black piano like the rest of my trim Philo....

i wonder if indeed the black piano would reflect as much Dom.. ... - .- -.

It definitely used to in SWMBOs old S Type R. And it was super easy to scratch, especially with SWMBO dumping a handbag on there every time she got in.

Think about looking at a reflection of the sun in a shiny black car. Retinal bleed.

Did I recognise the dulcet tones of the spanner man in that vid by any chance?

the handbag is defo a consideration, maybe i should get a bum-bag....

could always just try some plastidip stan?

Comes in lots of colours and would peel off when you want to change the car or fancy a different colour?

Or just use normal car paint to paint that bit to match the outside of the car? Dan

good suggestion danny thanks...not sure whether paint would adhere to that surface but a possibility.. ... - .- -.

dip would stick to it as it's common for people to use it on their car badges which are usually a shiny chrome.
well it doesn't really stick, its more just surface tension that keeps it on.

Maybe just going with a satin clear would be enough to retain the look but dampen off the shine? Dan

i've looked at a video on how to get the panel out and its pretty involved so painting and plastic dip are out and i might go down the wrapping route ....or wait till summer is over [next month] and then there will no problem..  ... - .- -.

next month? Think it's just about gone already.

have to agree the microfiber will probably just be easiest for the odd bouts of sunshine that we get each year Dan

At least you problem is rare (sun coming out!)

On mine the wood effect in the cabin reflects nicely onto the interior light housing, and i constantly think my interior light is on... drives me up the wall
