Cheers Nick. One day.. I can't get enough of the DC5 at the moment though! Only downside is, there's nothing to fix/tinker with :|

Ben those seats look brilliant after the leather treatment! If you're going to remove the sex blocker and fit a facelift centre console, I believe I have the handbrake bits you'll need for the slight relocation..

Thanks man, that's good to know. 8-)
I'm not sure I'll go the whole hog as I actually like the sex blocker :oops: and do find the facelift handbrake location a bit intrusive.
For now, talking to a guy about doing the SB lid in alcantara to match.

Oh and glad you're enjoying the DC5! :D :vtec:

Why would you need to move handbrake if you remove sexblocker?

If I went over to facelift setup, with the handbrake over to the side.
Funny, was talking about your JDM/unusual centre console yesterday, were your ears burning? :lol:
That's probably what I would go for if anything, but will most likely stick with the pre-facelift setup I think.

I think there was a pre-facelift centre console that didn't have a sex blocker? Maybe you could look to tracking one of those down.

That said I think I'd rather keep the sex blocker in. You'd need to be a contortionist to put the back seat to any proper use even if it was a flat bench!

Yes, that's the one I mean, IIRC @newkid has it in his.
It has a slightly different front part and an armrest/cupholder that attaches to the back/top of it.

The sex blocker has never bothered me, I actually use it.
The only consideration is I could get a larger painting across the back seat for deliveries. :lol:

In fact, here it is:
Slightly different front section but original handbrake position.
